LOWER POTTSGROVE TOWNSHIP, PA — A national controversy hit close to home Friday afternoon after three-year-old videosof Phil Robertson speaking at a local church resurfaced.
Robertson, the patriarch of the family featured on the hit TV show “Duck Dynasty” on A&E, made what some perceived as anti-gay comments in an article in GQ Magazine. The article is published in the January 2014 edition of the magazine.
His controversial comments have started a firestorm of online discussion and led to Robertson’s indefinite suspension from the popular reality show.
But the faith-based comments Robertson made in the GQ article were echoes of statements he made while speaking at events long before the show on A&E started.
