  In 2015, Robertson made further controversial comments when he was awarded the 2015 Breitbart Defender of the First Amendment Award. In a half-hour speech to CPAC, Robertson asserted that STDs are the legacy of Nazis, communists, beatniks, and hippies. He told a long and graphic anecdote about an atheist and his family being murdered, and then the assailants said, "But you're the one who says there is no God, there's no right, there's no wrong, so we're just having fun." His statements went viral.
