Tony Perkins: Paul Victory Not True Reflection of Conservative Beliefs
Following Rep. Ron Paul’s win of the Values Voter Summit straw poll, Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council, has come out saying that the win does not accurately reflect conservatives support of Paul’s candidacy, reports
The Hill.
“I don’t think Ron Paul is truly reflective of where values voters stand,” Perkins told CNN’s “American Morning on Monday.”
“Ron Paul bussed in over 600 people not to attend the conference but to hear his speech and vote,” he said. “I give them credit for being organized.”
Perkins went on to applaud Herman Cain’s finish in the poll saying, “I think there’s something to be said about his results in the straw poll.”
