Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) says that critics of Indiana’s “right to discriminate” law should get “perspective” because the state doesn’t execute gay people
Appearing on CNN Wednesday, Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) said that critics of Indiana’s “right to discriminate” law should get “perspective” because the state doesn’t execute gay people, reports Think Progress.
Cotton also – incorrectly – suggested that Indiana’s law was the same as the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) signed by President Clinton in 1993.
According to Indiana trial lawyer Matt Anderson, the Indiana law opens up “the path of least resistance among its species to have a court adjudicate it in a manner that could ultimately be used to discriminate.”
Yesterday, Dan Savage dismantled Cotton's argument in a segment over on MSNBC.

Cotton has the dubious honor of support from the National Organization For Marriage.
