During his 700 Club commentary Wednesday morning, televangelist Pat Robertson went after the Democratic Party for its removal of the word “God” from its party platform.

“Back in the 1850s or 60s there was a charge that one party was the party of rum, Romanism and rebellion,” he began. “I don’t know what you label the Democrats now but it’s the party of gays, godlessness and whatever else.”

“I mean, same-sex marriage is in the platform — they want to go along with that as a right,” he added. “I’m just astounded.”
