Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said in a statement Tuesday that he believed Trump's State of the Union "opened the door even wider to policies that make America a good and prosperous nation."

"Yes, a lot changed during the Obama years. America went from being a zealous advocate of religious freedom and human rights for all people, to being a promoter of special rights for a few," stated Perkins.

"But tonight's speech is another reminder that times are changing back again. America now has the ability to promote and protect religious freedom both here and abroad."
