The Republican National Committee unanimously passed a resolution Friday afternoon that reaffirms the party’s opposition to same-sex marriage, which RNC committee member Robin Armstrong defended on Hardball Friday evening.
“Actually, we’re the ‘tolerant party,’” Armstrong said. “We allow people to come in who are in favor of homosexual marriage…All we’re saying is that we affirm marriage is between one man and one woman. We’re not going to compromise that value.”
He added, “I think this is an illustration of how intolerant Democrats and liberals are of other viewpoints. You don’t have to agree with me on 100% of my viewpoints to be a part of [the Republican Party].”
Armstrong argued that “most Americans today agree that marriage is between one man and one woman”—a false assertion, given that recent polling puts support for same-sex marriage at an all-time high.
