Bryan Fischer was “grossly disappointed” in Nikki Haley’s Republican response to last night’s State of the Union address and spent two segments of his radio show today ripping the South Carolina governor as a feckless “toady” and a “lackey” for the Republican establishment.

Fischer was particularly outraged that Haley had dared to say that Republican “would respect differences in modern families, but we would also insist on respect for religious liberty as a cornerstone of our democracy.”

“What does she mean by that?” Fischer asked. “She means that the Republican Party has officially embraced sodomy-based marriage. That’s what that means. The Republican Party has officially embraced sodomy-based marriage and the entire homosexual agenda.”

“You parse that,” he continued to fume, “we’re not going to invest one ounce of energy as a party, as ruling-class Republicans, we’re not going to invest one ounce of energy in fighting to protect natural marriage. We’re not going to invest one ounce of energy to try to preserve the right of children to be raised by a mom and a dad. We know from the research, it’s a form of child abuse for a child to be raised in a same-sex household. It is a form of child abuse; all of the best in social research confirms that and here is Nikki Haley saying we’re not going to fight for those children, we’re not going to fight for the children that are subjected to a form of child abuse by being raised in a same-sex household.”
