A quick summary by MSNBC of various candidates' views on the Indiana law:
•Jeb Bush: ”I think once the facts are established, people aren’t going to see this as discriminatory at all,” he told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, per NBC’s Perry Bacon.
•Ted Cruz: ”Indiana is giving voice to millions of courageous conservatives across this country who are deeply concerned about the ongoing attacks upon our personal liberties. I’m proud to stand with [Indiana Gov. Mike Pence], and I urge Americans to do the same.”
•Marco Rubio: ”The issue were talking about here is should someone who provides a professional service be punished by the law because they refused to provide that professional service to a ceremony that they believe is in violation of their faith? I think people have a right to live out their religious faith in their own lives,” he said on Fox News, according to NBC’s Emily Gold.
•Scott Walker: ”As a matter of principle, Gov. Walker believes in broad religious freedom and the right for Americans to exercise their religion and act on their conscience,” per a spokeswoman.
As for the rest of the clown car, we must link to Fox News:
Mike Huckabee – The former Arkansas governor backed the law in a statement provided to Fox News First: ““We must stand behind those who stand up for religious freedoms. Indiana’s law is the same that was supported and signed by President Bill Clinton and most Democrats back in 1993; Senator Barack Obama also supported it at one time. It's not a bill that discriminates, but protects from religious discrimination and upholds religious liberty for everyone.”
Carly Fiorina – Fiorina stood up for the legislation during an interview with CNBC: “Basically what this law says is that someone can have a remedy against the federal government for imposing on their religious beliefs….It’s not in any company or particularly a technology company’s interest to discriminate in any way and that's not what this law does. This law doesn’t condone discrimination.”
Rick Perry – The former Texas governor backed the Indiana measure with a Tuesday tweet: “I stand with @GovPenceIN. Religious freedom is worth protecting. #RFRA”
Rick Santorum – The veteran of the culture wars was quick to offer his strong support via Twitter: “I stand with @mikepence4gov in defense of religious liberty and real tolerance….”
Ben Carson – Carson backed the measure in an interview with Breitbart “It is absolutely vital that we do all we can to allow Americans to practice their religious ways, while simultaneously ensuring that no one's beliefs infringe upon those of others.”
Bobby Jindal – Jindal told Breitbart: “I support the Religious Freedom and Restoration Act because I support religious liberty as granted to us in our Constitution.”
And then there's that neoliberal who is no better than the Republicans, with this tweet:
I am going to support Hillary Clinton in 2016. Because there IS a big difference, a HUGE difference, and this is not something to fuck around with.
