http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/cruz-huckabee-and-jindal-will-join-pastor-who-wants-gays-put-death#sthash.kwDdH0xV.dpufThe organizer of the National Religious Liberties Conference in Des Moines, Iowa, announced today that Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee and Bobby Jindal have committed to speaking at the summit, which will take place next month. One speaker at the conference, Iowa radio host Steve Deace, has said that Ben Carson has also RSVPd for the event, although Carsons name was not included in todays press release.
Kevin Swanson, the conferences chief organizer, is a far-right pastor and host of the Generations Radio program, on which he has frequently claimed that the government should put gay people to death, warned that the Girl Scouts and the movie Frozen turn girls into lesbians and blamed natural disasters on gay people and women who wear pants. (Update: Swanson is not the only activist speaking at the conference who backs the death penalty for homosexuality).
We have documented Swansons radical record in great detail, including his tirades against William Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Abraham Lincoln, Desmond Tutu and Taylor Swift.
