Religious Right Group: GOP Platform ‘Looks Like Something That Was Written By Us’

Paul Weber, the president and CEO of the Family Policy Alliance, the political wing of Focus on the Family, praised the Republican Party’s new ultra-conservative platform yesterday, saying that the platform “looks like something that was written by us and placed on our own website.”

In an interview posted on the organization’s website, Weber specifically praised the platform’s calls for overturning Roe v. Wade and Obergefell v. Hodges.

Weber also indirectly addressed the concerns of some conservative Christians in voting for Donald Trump, advising viewers to “compare the candidates” and telling them that they “have to vote.”

“Seek the welfare of the state,” he said. “We have two candidates. You have to choose the best of the two.”
