Mullin Defends ‘Duck Dynasty’ Star, Religious Beliefs

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 19, 2013

Congressman Mullin Statement on Religious Freedom

MUSKOGEE – Congressman Markwayne Mullin made the following statement after “Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson was suspended for remarks he made regarding his religious beliefs.

“America is currently witnessing a contradiction in its core principles. The fundamentals that founded our great nation included the freedom of speech and religion. Unfortunately a man who simply voiced his religious belief, which is protected by our constitution, is now being punished. The Robertson family is standing up for what they believe, and our fundamental, core principles of this nation clearly protect them. I support their rights and their view of traditional marriage that is between a man and a woman.”
