Televangelist Pat Robertson on Tuesday
lamented the Education Department's finding that transgender youth
are protected under federal anti-discrimination law.
The agency in November said that an
Illinois school district violated
the law when it did not allow a transgender girl to use the girls'
locker room.
Robertson told his The 700 Club
viewers that the debate was “absolutely nuts.”
“We are facing thermonuclear
annihilation and what are we debating in America? What are we
debating? Where a little kid goes to the potty. I mean, this is
nuts, absolutely nuts. It is crazy,” Robertson
said.
“This whole thing is insane.”
“And for the Untied States of America
to put the power of the federal government and all of its money and
resources behind this transgender movement, it is just nothing short
of insanity. And you ask yourself, 'When do we get free from this
nonsense?' But it gets worse and worse and worse. This is
liberalism run amok,” he added before linking the issue to the
collapse of “marital purity.”
