Perkins: GOP Platform “Compromises Biblical Truth”

Unlike past years, when the media was welcome in the proceedings, “there’s kind of this cone of silence,” Perkins warned. Not only were the 112 delegates ordered to leave their cell phones outside the room, but none of the participants had access to the proposed platform language in advance. “That’s not the way conservatives do business,” FRC’s president insisted in an interview beforehand.

According to FRCA’s chairman, who represented Louisiana on the committee, “Delegates were only given a few minutes of discussion before ‘debate’ was ended and a vote was taken. Ironically, the document calls for a vigorous defense of free speech and the end of government censorship. Deprived of the opportunity to discuss amendments to the draft platform document, we have submitted a minority report to supplement that campaign’s platform.”

Asked what kind of impact this might have, Perkins was honest. “I can only say that, unfortunately, I think it dampens enthusiasm. … To what degree, I don’t know — but the elections are so close we can’t afford any deviation.” As for the party’s critics who accuse him of being too tough on Trump, Tony said earnestly, “That’s not my intention. I was trying to help him. … But I cannot compromise biblical truth to advance a temporal political objective. I won’t do it,” he insisted. “I just can’t do it.”
