Tony Perkins: Trump gets ‘a mulligan’ on Stormy Daniels and other past indiscretions (REPRISE) - a podcast by POLITICO

A reprise episode: Donald Trump is still the answer to many conservative
evangelical leaders’ prayers. Or at least to their continuing
grievances. They embrace Trump the policymaker, despite being uneasy
about Trump as a man, says Tony Perkins, president of the Family
Research Council, a prominent evangelical activist group.

Perkins knows about Stormy Daniels, the porn actress who claimed, in a
2011 interview, that in 2006 she had sex with Trump four months after
his wife, Melania, gave birth to their son, Barron. He knows of the
reports that Daniels (real name: Stephanie Clifford) was paid off to
keep the affair quiet in the waning weeks of the 2016 election. He knows
about the cursing, the lewdness and the litany of questionable behavior
over the past year of Trump’s life or the 70 that came before it.

“We kind of gave him—‘All right, you get a mulligan. You get a do-over
here,’” Perkins said in a January 2018 interview for Off Message.
