On Thursday, country music singer Charlie Daniels weighed in on the Duck Dynasty controversy.
Daniels said it was a “sorry day in America” when A&E can indefinitely suspend Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson and trample on his civil rights for “expressing heartfelt religious opinions.”
The network suspended Robertson this week for comments to GQ that were deemed “anti-gay.” Daniels also said via Twitter that A&E probably “ran off a significant bunch of viewers.”
It’s a sorry day in America when a man speaks his mind and gets suspended from work for expressing heartfelt religious opinions.
