Posted: Wed Oct 16, 2013 9:57 am
Even Pat Robertson thinks it’s time for Republicans to surrender.
Now that the Affordable Care Act has been implemented and the country is on the precipice of default, Robertson delivered a plea to the GOP during his 700 Club television show to “wave the white flag” and agree to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling.
Below is the transcript of Robertson’s remarks:
“The Republicans have got to wave the white flag and say, ‘We fought a good fight and now it’s over. They cannot shut the government down and then bring about a default. We can’t do it. I mean, it would be devastating economically to every human being and the Republicans just can’t get tarred with that. So they tried and if they go to the electorate and say, ‘We tried, Obamacare was awful, we tried to get it underway and we weren’t successful, the Democrats wanted it, they fought for it and they wouldn’t let go so it’s their bill, their program.’”
