The 700 Club Apologizes For Offensive ‘You Will Get AIDS from Towels in Kenya’ Remark Made By American Televangelist

Kenyans were scandalized when a video of 700 Clubs’ Pat Robertson spewing out ignorant and distasteful comments about Kenya surfaced online.

The comments made by pat came off as incredibly offensive and ignorant especially coming from a program based on strong Christian Values. A program hosted by someone educated and allegedly cultured.

In the clip, Pat Robertson says that one may not contact Ebola in Kenya but you can get AIDS because people here really have AIDS.

And you could get AIDS from using towels here.He also added that you should not drink Kenyan water to avoid getting intestinal worms.In addition foreigners were urged to steer clear of ilk and milk products since Kenyan milk was not pasteurized.

This was in response to an anonymous audience member who wanted to come to Kenya for missionary work but had been warned by family and friends that a visit to Africa could be fatal due to the  Ebola pandemic .

After KOT went HAM on Pat Robertson following this ‘advice’ , the 700 Club went to Facebook to issue an apology.

This is what they said:

On last Thursday’s The 700 Club broadcast, Dr. Robertson was responding to a viewer’s question about a mission trip to Kenya and getting Ebola. In his answer about the health dangers posed by such a trip, Dr. Robertson misspoke about the possibility of getting AIDS from towels. CBN recognized this error immediately and removed that statement from the online archive. CBN apologizes for any confusion

This apology has however fallen on deaf ears and Kenyans want Pat to apologize on the same medium he used to dish out these comments. They want him to apologize live on air and personally.
