Pat Robertson has attributed the mass shooting in Las Vegas Sunday night to “disrespect for authority” including President Trump. 
On the Monday broadcast of his Christian show 'The 700 Club,'  the televangelist discussed the tragic event and then asked, “Violence in the streets, ladies and gentlemen. Why is it happening?” 
“The fact that we have disrespect for authority--there is profound disrespect of our president, all across this nation. They say terrible things about him--it’s in the news, it’s in other places," Robertson said. "There is disrespect now for our national anthem, disrespect for our veterans, disrespect for the institutions of our government, disrespect for the court system. All the way up and down the line, disrespect.”
He was likely referring, at least in part, to Trump’s ongoing dispute with NFL players who have refused to stand for the national anthem as a way to call attention to social inequalities. 
“Until there is biblical authority, there has to be some controlling authority in our society, and there is none," Robertson added. "And when there is no vision of God...the people run amok.” 
According to the New York Times, the violent rampage in Las Vegas has claimed the lives of at least 59 people; the gunman’s motives are thus far unknown.
