MRFF's Mikey Weinstein is one the three prominent Robertson "critics" featured by The Christian Post in this slide-show-type article of statements from both critics and supporters.
Quotes from Mikey’s scathing statement about Robertson published in the article include:
"Robertson, like his evil, bigoted colleague Falwell, was a 100% fundamentalist Christian nationalist and repulsively antisemitic, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic and misogynistic to the filthy core of his wretched being."
"Our nation is currently embroiled in horribly divisive strife freighted by the very same universal hatred and prejudice that BOTH Falwell and Robertson spewed out everywhere all the time."

The Times of Israel picks up the Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) article on Robertson's death, which cites Robertson’s 2014 attack on Mikey Weinstein (emphasis added):
“In 2014, he called the director of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, which advocates against proselytizing in the military, a ‘little Jewish radical.’ The subject of that epithet, Mikey Weinstein, was not mourning Robertson on Tuesday.
“‘I know quite well what it felt like to be savaged by him just for being a Jewish person who fights for civil rights in our armed forces,’ he said in a statement.”

“There’s a left-wing radical named Mikey Weinstein, who has got a group about people against religion or whatever he calls it, and he has just terrorized the armed forces … You think you’re supposed to be tough, you’re supposed to defend us, and you got one little Jewish radical who is scaring the pants off of you … You want these guys flying the airplanes to defend us when you got one little guy terrorizing them? … That’s what it amounts to. … How can [USAF] fly the bombers to defend us if they cave to one little guy?”

MRFF Founder and President Mikey Weinstein's
full statement on the passing of Pat Robertson

Clarence Darrow once famously said, “I have never killed anyone, but I have read some obituary notices with great satisfaction."
"Sixteen years ago, Jerry Falwell died. I had a number of journalists asking me for my reaction at that time and I simply told them 'ding dong the witch is dead’.
I was simply NOT going to mince words.
Earlier today, I was contacted by another journalist asking my reaction to Pat Robertson dying. I said the very same thing. It was most fitting.
Robertson, like his evil, bigoted colleague Falwell, was a 100% fundamentalist Christian nationalist and repulsively antisemitic, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic and misogynistic to the filthy core of his wretched being.
Our nation is currently embroiled in horribly divisive strife freighted by the very same universal hatred and prejudice that BOTH Falwell and Robertson spewed out everywhere all the time.
America and the world will be far better places without the putrid, unconstitutional, fundamentalist Christian supremacy, triumphalism, domination, exclusivity, and exceptionalism both of those monsters tried to mix into the very fabric of our laws, land, and its inhabitants.
I am simply not going to mince words."
