A very sorry day. GQ asked Robertson a question, and he answered it honestly. For that, he was punished.
A&E has already taken a whole lotta heat for its decision. Daniels predicts that things could be very ugly when the smoke clears:
A and E I think I think you trampled Phil Robertson's civil rights and ran off a significant bunch of viewers.
Only time will tell.— Charlie Daniels (@CharlieDaniels) December 19, 2013
Indeed. You made this bed, A&E. Be prepared to wallow in it.
