I wish I knew the truth about this. I called Focus on the Family and couldn’t get an answer from them, they supposedly can’t get involved in politics, but he can as a private citizen.
The website tries to make it sound like it was media bias, spinning something that wasn’t true. This is about the earlier statement he made about whether Fred was a Christian or not.

This one claims the reporters have lied about Dobson and his comments.

Some of the information is that Dr. Dobson thinks highly of Fred.
They don’t have anything on the website about the most recent item, the email. They mention Glenn Beck repeating the false information [?] then apologizing for believing it.
If anyone has more information, I’d love to hear it.
Focus on the Family admitted he wrote the email when I called, only after I repeatedly asked the first person I spoke to whether it was a “hoax” as she insinuated.
The tone of the email was pretty vitriolic. I don’t think Fred
deserves to be singled out in such a way, and it sounds like personal animus to me, which is odd, since they have never actually met.
I think the whole thing is horrid. I removed myself from the mailing list after supporting them for over 20 years.
I think Dobson looks stupid after berating Glenn Beck. (I had forgotten about that episode until you reminded me.)
