Kris Kobach helps add border wall, same-sex marriage, gun planks to GOP platform

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s contributions to the Republican Party’s national platform include support for a wall along the Mexican border and a denunciation of same-sex marriage.

Kobach has been part of the GOP’s platform-drafting committee in Cleveland this week ahead of the Republican National Convention.

The proposed platform includes several planks he crafted, including two pages on immigration policy and a provision that opposes restrictions on AR-style rifles and other high-capacity magazine weapons. The platform won’t be approved until next week.

One of those planks is the construction of a wall “that must cover the entirety of the southern border,” a key campaign promise of presumptive nominee Donald Trump.

I lived in Wichita for 18 years, during the time when there were Democratic governors and majorities in the state house. We saw the GOP being swallowed by a fundamentalist religious cabal back then. One could have predicted the result, and this is pretty much what one would have.

George Carlin had an idea of walling off states.
