Amidst controversy, Secretary of State candidate bringing Duck Dynasty stars to Idaho

[IDemo]

BOISE -- Representative Lawerence Denney says recent controversy over comments made by Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson will not deter him from bringing the reality stars to the Idaho Center in March for a fundraiser for his campaign for Secretary of State. The comments in question deal primarily with Robertson's view of homosexuality.

"Our family proudly stands in support of the Robertson family in its' modeling and expression of our Christian family values and heritage. We expressed that support when we spoke to the Robertson family yesterday," Denney said.

Denney says he supports their 1st Amendment right to speak freely about religion of their choosing. Further, he supports the viewpoints expressed overall by the family. KTVB asked him about the controversy surrounding the article.

"Oh, he better come! This is a community that supports his moral and spiritual philosophy," Dale said. "For any news media to come out and say they're going to criticize or condemn somebody for expressing their personal religious and moral belief is totally beyond the realm of what we should expect in a country like the United states."
