Tony Perkins responds to the news that Cindy McCain posed for the NOH8 Campaign by suggesting that her husband lost his race for the White House because people did like her views:
[C]onservatives shrug at the suggestion that Cindy McCain is influencing the public.
“The people of California have been very clear on this issue,” said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, one of the groups that supported the Proposition 8 campaign in California. “They’ve voted twice to preserve the definition of marriage.”
…
“There’s probably a reason she’s not first lady,” Perkins said. “People were worried about the influence she would have on social issues such as this.”
Oddly, when just about every Religious Right group in existence was ardently backing McCain during the election, nobody was raising concerns about his wife’s views. But since that he lost, it’s because people were worried that she might support for marriage equality?
