Pat Robertson, the legendary Christian philanthropist and radio broadcaster who once ran for President, has died.
According to a press release issued by the Christian Broadcasting Network … Robertson passed away Thursday in his Virginia home as family gathered around him. His cause of death was not disclosed.
Robertson enjoyed a long illustrious career in TV, politics and religion. Decades ago, he first launched a small TV station and soon transformed himself into one of the most influential Christian commentators in the nation. He became known as both a religious leader and culture warrior.
Over the years, he founded the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), which was home to the immensely popular “The 700 Club.” He also created the Christian Coalition, which was credited with helping bring American evangelicals to the modern Republican Party.
