Washington, DC — After creating an international firestorm yesterday with his call for the assassination of Venezuela’s ruler, Hugo Chavez, Pat Robertson “clarified” his remarks to help stem the furor.
First, he noted — incorrectly — that the Associated Press misquoted him.
Then, expounding on yesterday’s diplomatic gesture, he said he really didn’t say Chavez should be assassinated — he should only be “taken out.”
Said Robertson: “There are other ways to do that — like kidnapping.”
