If Trump had not been specifically mentioned and Robertson had just said some of our institutions are being disrespected; people would not have as many problems with this statement, it's the Daily Beast and at that, it seems the part about Trump was excerpted. The statement by Robertson goes on:
Is that so controversial? Do people really disagree with that?
Mass shootings have been studied, mass killings have happened, that one in Bath Michigan I believe but starting with the Texas Tower, I believe there is a clear uptick in these kinds of incidences. They just did not start to become more common for no reason at all.
It isn't about Trump, it is about the typical Pat Robertson blaming all problems or tragedies on the whatever social issue is in the headline of the day. When gay marriage was an issue, he blamed hurricanes on that. He has blamed hurricanes in the past on how people behave during spring break in Florida, he blames shootings on video games (if that happens to be the headline of the day).
It is the exact same crap the left pulls. It is always a fault with society, some sort of twist on social justice- that always supersedes the actual guilty party- the person who took the action.
This kind of stuff is the 'right's' version of Social Justice. 'If only society were XX, we wouldn't have XX tragedy' or 'we must change XX behavior in society to stop unrelated XX tragedy from happening.'
