Bryan Fischer: Don't Blame Tony Perkins

"Certainly Mr. Perkins should have had this information at the time the hiring decision was made. Why he didn’t is a matter for another day, but in point of fact he didn’t have it, and when he did get it, he acted quickly and correctly. The public revelations of what happened over a decade ago will certainly rock the Duggar family for years to come and will unsettle the folks at FRC and in the larger pro-family community for a time. But whatever failures led to this, none of them can be laid at Tony Perkins’ feet. Heartbreaking? Yes. Hypocritical? Absolutely not." - Bryan Fischer, writing for the American Family Association.
