Christian conservative Bryan Fischer
has described Mary Cheney as an “intolerant lesbian bigot.”
Mary and Liz Cheney, the daughters of
former vice president Dick Cheney, became embroiled in a public feud
over gay marriage after Liz Cheney, who is challenging Wisconsin
Senator Mike Enzi in the Republican primary, reiterated her
opposition to gay nuptials during an appearance on Fox News
Sunday.
“Listen, I love Mary very much. I
love her family very much. This is just an issue on which we
disagree,” she said.
Mary Cheney responded in a Facebook
post that she was “wrong” and “on the wrong side of history.”
Mary's wife, Heather Poe, wrote that she was offended.

Fischer, who previously declared that
Liz Cheney cannot be a patriot because she supports some gay rights,
rushed to Liz Cheney's defense.

says.)
“It's very clear here that Liz Cheney
is not the intolerant bigot,” Fischer
told his Focal
Point
radio listeners. “It is Liz Cheney's sister who is, in fact,
the intolerant bigot.” (The video is embedded on this page. Visit
