Christian Broadcast Network founder Pat Robertson on Wednesday condemned President Trump’s “law and order” response to nationwide unrest following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died in Minneapolis police custody.

“You just don’t do that, Mr. President,” Robertson said on “The 700 Club” on Tuesday, referring to Trump’s threat to invoke military troops to U.S. cities are facing protest.

“It isn’t cool,” he added. 

Robertson, who has been a staunch ally of Trump, also spoke out about racism, saying “we are one” and “God made us all” while pressing the president to offer comfort.

“It seems like now is the time to say, ‘I understand your pain, I want to comfort you, I think it’s time we love each other,'” Robertson said. “But the president took a different course. He said, ‘I am the president of law and order,’ and he issued a heads-up.”
