President Donald Trump is receiving immense backlash for the White House's order to tear gas peaceful protestors in Washington, D.C. so that the President could take a picture with a bible in front of Saint John's Episcopal Church.

Some of that backlash is coming from highly unexpected places.


The far-Right televangelist Pat Robertson—usually a supporter of the President—criticized Trump's overall response to the uprisings taking place across the nation to protest the murder of George Floyd by police in Minnesota.

Watch below.


Robertson said:

"It seems like now is the time to say, 'I understand your pain, I want to comfort you, I think it's time we love each other.' But the President took a different course, he said 'I am the President of law and order,' and he issued a heads up. He said, 'I'm ready to send in military troops if the nation's governors don't act to quell the violence that has rocked American cities.' In fact, he spoke of them as being jerks. You just don't do that, Mr. President. It isn't cool!"

Pat Robertson holds extreme conservative positions on abortion, LGBTQ rights, feminism, and other issues.

His vocal opposition to Trump's handling of the national uprising was unexpected, to say the least.




By no means, however, have people forgotten what Robertson has stood for in the past.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
