Controversial televangelist Pat Robertson commented on the Monday morning episode of the long-running "The 700 Club," addressing the matter at the start of the program.

Robertson called the shooter's actions "so horrible" and said that "I am trying to make sense of this" before later commenting that the "violence in the streets" was due to "disrespect for authority."

"Violence in the streets, ladies and gentlemen. Why is it happening? You know, what I'd like to give you is the fact that we have disrespect for authority," Robertson said.

"There is profound disrespect of our president all across this nation ... there's 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."

Robertson added that "until there is biblical authority, there has to be some controlling authority in our society and there is none."
