While the Obama administration and its allies last decade waged an all-out war on the conscience rights and the free exercise of religion, Arkansas’s legislature stepped up to pass the Conscience Protection Act.

Corporate America, led by Walmart and Apple, objected to protecting religious people’s consciences, and so Gov. Asa Hutchinson refused to sign the bill until it was watered down.Now, with the Left’s culture warriors even more aggressive and tireless, trying to expel conservative views and institutions from public life, Hutchinson wants to be the Republican standard bearer.

Apple’s Tim Cook sounded the freakout siren in the pages of the Washington Post. “There’s something very dangerous happening in states across the country,” Cook warned. Walmart followed a couple of days later. Walmart has its headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas, is the state’s largest employer, and is cozy with Hutchinson. Hutchinson deferred to Walmart and reversed his position, demanding that the bill be watered down.
