Pat Robertson, Joy Behar, Haiti Devil Pact Claims
Televangelist Pat Robertson sparked controversy by claiming Haiti's suffering stems from a historical "pact with the devil" made to escape French rule under Napoleon III. Joy Behar and Arianna Huffington criticized these remarks on CNN, though the hosts point out Behar's factual errors regarding the timeline of the 1700s versus the 1800s. The segment deconstructs the media's reaction to Robertson's metaphorical and religious interpretation of Haitian history.
