Fox’s Perino, Gutfeld Pan ‘Unnecessary Culture War’ over Indiana: ‘Hurts the Right’

On Fox’s The Five today, both Dana Perino and Greg Gutfeld panned what Perino deemed an “unnecessary culture war” over Indiana’s religious freedom law.

Perino argued that the tide is turning on gay marriage not just across the country, but within the GOP, and this fight only helps to “nullify” the progress that’s being made in the party to get Republicans to be more open and accepting of gay rights.

Gutfeld, meanwhile, said Republicans should be spending more time finding things to unite the country and “focus on the stuff that’s beyond our borders.” Otherwise, he said, it’s this cultural battle that liberals are eager to fight because it distracts from a host of more important issues.

He noted how the gay rights movement progressed because of the “respect that they had for other people” and concluded of this Indiana fight, “It helps the left, it hurts the right.”
