Headline: WHEN YOU'VE LOST HUGH HEWITT & FOX NEWS....

As Republican legislators and governors continue its assault on LGBT Americans through Right to Discriminate laws, even many conservative talking heads and thought leaders think they've gone too far. Watch what prominent conservatives Charles Krauthammer, Juan Williams, Hugh Hewitt, and Kathleen Parker, plus Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, have to say:

"We've seen it time and time again - the GOP's attempts to gain voters by stoking fear and prejudice. Time and again we've seen GOP leaders stoking fear and prejudice and Ttheis latest round of anti-LGBT legislation like in North Carolina's HB2 only further institutionalizes bigotry. Law enforcement experts agree there is no evidence of a transgender crime wave in bathrooms. Instead of taking steps that actually encourage harassment, we should remember that transgender Americans are already one of the most at-risk groups targeted for violence and discrimination, and they deserve equal protection under the law."  The fact is, people should be more concerned about what Republican politicians are doing in public bathrooms."  -- Mark Paustenbach, DNC spokesperson
