Jews and atheists and women, too. You wouldn’t know it lately, not after several events this season, including the invocation before Saturday night’s race at Texas Motor Speedway. Duck Com- mander founder Phil Robert- son used the address to pray “that we put a Jesus man in the White House” and noted that “alright Texas, we got here via Bibles and guns.” Robertson, a star of “Duck Dynasty,” has pub- licly voiced his support for Ted Cruz in the presiden- tial race. His son, Willie, has endorsed GOP front-runner Donald Trump, and the fam- ily has always been vocal with its conservative beliefs. It shouldn’t have been a sur- prise when Robertson used his time on stage to push an agenda.
