He did not actually tell the reportor he was quoting the bible but it is pretty clear that he was. The reported asked if he thought being gay was a sin. He responded with a very close quote of 1 Corinthians 6:9.... He then talked about not understanding the attraction a man could have for another man an said to him that a woman had more to offer but that it was not his place to judge. I could look up exactly what he said but it was vulgar for this forums standards.I heard the same thing that Robertson said the Bible says xyz never said a word about hate or any sort of harm to be done to Gay people, I guess there are just some people trying to make fun of others religious view point or want to start fights on social media.
The 1 Corinthians 6:9 quote is what everyone had issue with an I truly think most people though it was his opinion an did not know he was quoting the bible. I could tell by how it was worded that it was a bible quote but had to look it up. I am not surprised by the idea that many people did not know it was a quote.
