Tony Perkins: Trump Is Open To Changing His Views Because He Hasn’t Thought Them Through [VIDEO]

ABC booted Tony Perkins from yesterday’s news show but MSNBC hosted him later in the day. Perkins is promoting tomorrow’s meeting with Donald Trump, where he and fellow evangelical haters will advise Trump on how to win over the religious right, most of whom had backed Ted Cruz. Raw Story recaps:



When asked what Perkins plans to tell the GOP nominee, he said that the issues will come down to national security and religious liberty, particularly how aggressive Trump will be in defending religious freedom. Perkins admitted Trump’s past statements about being pro-LGBT and pro-choice are concerns as they move forward as well.

“I think that’s why there’s not people just rushing because he’s the GOP nominee,” Perkins said. “Look, as Evangelicals, Christians, Conservatives in this process, we not only want to have influence but we also have to be a witness to the truth. And, so part of that is, ‘Alright, let’s have a conversation about these issues. Maybe you didn’t think through them.’ And I give him the benefit of the doubt that as a businessman who’s been doing other things, he’s not thought through these policies, and that’s why you’ll see him from time to time change his positions once it’s been explained to him.”
