GOP Candidates Backed Into Corner Over Indiana Law

Gov. Mike Pence (R) “just lobbed a grenade into the Republican presidential field,” Politico reports.

“The Indiana governor’s religious freedom law has ignited yet another controversial culture war debate that has Republican contenders juggling awkward questions about issues they would just as soon not touch.”

Washington Post: “Republicans had sought to avoid such disputes in 2016, but most top GOP presidential contenders quickly backed the bill, putting them out of step with growing national support for gay rights.”

The Republican presidential field has not been backed into a corner.

Their supporters and constituents support their discrimination 100% !!!!

If fact, I think it is mandatory to be a member of the Republican Party.

If being racists, homophobic, and anti women was a problem for the Republican Party, they would have

disappeared ages ago.
