Evangelist Pat Robertson‘s comments on Haiti have caused a firestorm this week, as the Conservative blamed Haiti’s devastating earthquake on a ‘pact with the Devil’ made by the nation’s revolutionary leaders.
In the video excerpt below of Pat Robertson’s Haiti comments, he states:
"They got together and swore a pact to the Devil and said, We will serve you if you’ll get us free from the French. True story. And so the Devil said, Okay, it’s a deal. And, uh, they kicked the French out. You know, the Haitians revolted and got themselves free, but ever since they have been cursed by one thing after another.
Following Pat Robertson’s Haiti comments, Rachel Maddow presents a response from the Haitian Ambassador, who eloquently express the bond in American and Haitian history and addresses the offensive remarks.
