On the morning of August 24, Pat Robertson falsely claimed that he never called for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, saying that his August 22 remarks were “misinterpreted.”
On the afternoon of August 24, Robertson issued a press release in which he claimed that his assassination comments were “adlibbed” out of frustration, suggesting they were not representative of his true thinking.
So, which is it? Did Robertson “adlib” the assassination line, or did he never say it? What will his next explanation be? And is Robertson now admitting he lied earlier in the day in his statement on The 700 Club? Will he apologize to the news organizations he falsely accused of misinterpreting his unambiguous call for Chavez's assassination?
