Tony Perkins: Log Cabin Republicans Are Lying About RNC Appointment

"Chairman Preibus called me over the weekend and assured me that Cooper was not on the payroll and had not been 'appointed.' He simply volunteered to be a part of an open group of individuals who will personally give the party $30,000 and try to raise $300,000 or more. The Loggers wanted the RNC to release a statement celebrating Cooper purchase of a seat on the finance committee, but it declined. Knowing that the Log Cabin group hasn't been truthful in its efforts to subvert the GOP's platform, their dishonesty about buying their way into the RNC should come as no surprise." - FRC head Tony Perkins, claiming LCR head R. Clarke Cooper lied about being appointed to the RNC's finance committee.
