The most popular speaker at the 2015 Conservative Political Action Conference was not a politician, but rather Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson. …
And in his remarks, that ran 20 minutes long, the polarizing reality star focused on one thing in particular – sexually transmitted diseases in America. ‘I hate to admit I got my facts from the CDC the day before yesterday, 110 million, 110 million Americans now have a sexually transmitted illness,’ said Robertson.
‘I don’t want you, America, to get sick,’ he added. ‘I don’t want you to become ill. I don’t want you to come down with a debilitating disease. I don’t want you to die early. You’re disease free and she’s disease free, you marry, you keep your sex right there. You won’t get sick from a sexually transmitted disease.’ …
Robertson, 68, is a devout Christian who made his millions inventing the Duck Commander, an instrument used by hunters that makes duck calls. He previously came under fire when he denounced homosexual as ‘sinful’ in a 2013 interview with GQ.
A&E, the network that airs Duck Dynasty, suspended him after these comments, but he was reinstated after the public, and politicians including Sarah Palin, attacked the move as a violation of his freedom of speech.
