Marriage problems? Pat Robertson blames ‘hard-nosed,’ ‘awful-looking’ wives

Oh, yes he did. After a 17-year-old boy wrote and said his dad was more interested in video games than mom, Robertson speculated about why. “It may be your mom isn’t as sweet as you think she is,” he said. “She may be kind of hard-nosed. . . .”

When Robertson’s long-suffering cohost asked how he could blame the mother, he responded, “It’s easy to blame the mother” and continued:

You know, a woman came to a preacher that I know — he’s so funny — and she was awful looking. I mean, her hair was all torn up and she was overweight and looked terrible, clothes bad and everything. And she said, “Oh, Reverend, what can I do? My husband has started to drink.” And the preacher looked at her and said, “Madam, if I was married to you I’d start to drink too.”
