Though his lawyer denied the incident, this isn’t the first time Pat Robertson has been accused of threatening someone’s life.

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) – A Texas bodybuilder suing Pat Robertson contends the religious broadcaster walked into federal court for a legal proceeding and told him: “I am going to kill you and your family.”
According to a complaint Phillip Busch filed with the Norfolk police, Robertson made the threat when he entered a room in the courthouse Wednesday to be questioned for a deposition.
“There was no such threat,” said Robertson’s attorney, Glen Huff.
Busch is suing Robertson for what he says is misappropriation of his image to promote Robertson’s protein diet shake.
