Conservative religious broadcaster Pat Robertson said on CNN Wednesday that his remarks about the removal of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez were taken out of context and that he never called for the killing of the Latin American leader.
"I didn't say 'assassination.' I said our special forces should 'take him out.' And 'take him out' can be a number of things, including kidnapping; there are a number of ways to take out a dictator from power besides killing him. I was misinterpreted by the AP [Associated Press], but that happens all the time," Robertson said on "The 700 Club" program. (Watch video)
Powerball says: Robertson used the word "assassination" and "assasinate" as well as "take him out". I rather see him stand behind his comments then deny them. To do so is to lie. His comments and his lie are not befitting of any Christian.
