Televangelist and political figure Pat Robertson dies at 93.
TL;DR
Pat Robertson, the founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network and a prominent televangelist who mixed politics and religion, has died at the age of 93. Robertson was a key figure in the rise of the Christian right in American politics and helped found the Christian Coalition, which aimed to spur evangelical Christians into political action. He also made a multimillion-dollar business empire and was a vocal supporter of Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. However, his provocative comments and condemnations of what he considered rampant moral depravity pushed him to the cultural margins in later years.
