Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said in a statement that he considered the State of the Union speech to be “powerful and inspiring.”

“He’s earned this support by delivering on his promises, and that’s exactly what’s made him the target of unrelenting attacks from those desperate to stop his administration from succeeding,” Perkins said.

“He is not afraid to take the slings and arrows that come for standing up for these values. In the face of this barrage, President Trump gave a cheerful and unifying vision of what America can be.”

Perkins went on to say that in his 25 years of being involved in political activism, “I’ve seen no president who has done more to advance the sanctity of life and to protect and restore religious freedom at home and abroad.”
