New episodes of Duck Dynasty featuring Phil Robertson will be back on A&E starting January 15th. The backlash A&E has seen from their decision to ‘fire’ or ‘indefinitely suspend’ Phil Robertson for speaking about his religious views was on of the dumbest moves in television history. The Gaystapo and GLAAD lose yet again. Progressive liberal fascism has yet another epic failure.
A&E backing down – New episodes of Duck Dynasty with Phil Robertson start January 15 |
---|
A source close to the situation confirmed that when the network resumes airing new episodes of Duck Dynasty starting Jan. 15, footage featuring the Robertson patriarch will indeed remain intact. The network also hopes the media and fan furor will cool down over the holidays and that tensions over shooting future episodes can then be resolved.
The Robertson family hasn’t sounded as optimistic, with a source close to the Louisiana duck call clan telling E!: “They’re an extremely tight-knit family and they’re not going to let this get in the way. [Phil] is the reason for their success—they’re not going to abandon him. They’re also not about to let anyone threaten their religious beliefs.” A representative for the family could not be reached for comment.
