Tony Perkins Suggests DADT Repeal Allowed Secret Service Agents To Use Prostitutes In Columbia | The Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins sought to connect the Secret Service prostitution scandal in Columbia to President Obama’s repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell during an interview with Janet Mefferd on Monday. Perkins suggested that since Obama is “enforcing open homosexuality in our military,” he should not have been “upset” by his agents relying on prostitutes. “Morality is not a smorgasbord; you can’t pick what you want,” he said. “I think you’re absolutely right, this is a fundamental issue going forward because if we say ‘let them do what we want,’ what’s next? You cannot maintain moral order if you are willing to allow a few things to slide.”
