Peter Sprigg, Senior Fellow for Policy Studies at the Family research Council (FRC) got clowned in an interview by CNN’s Chris Cuomo during the New Day broadcast this morning. Sprigg’s group, identified as an anti-LGBT hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center actively opposed marriage equality. Failing to stop same-sex marriage FRC has recently ramped up their lies targeting transgender people. specifically regarding North Carolina HB2.
During the video Peter Sprigg attempted to justify HB2 by saying transgender people were a threat to the public. Chris Cuomo interrupted him demanding to be told of a single incident to which Sprigg sat silently distressed.

This bill is about keeping government out of private businesses and that’s a very generous accommodation”
So it’s ok to deny people their constitutional rights as long as the discrimination occurs in Government owned Buildings? That’s all you got Sprigg?
