Super PAC is spending big to defend pro-LGBT Republicans

The Republican-led group American Unity plans to spend at least $2 million by Election Day to support pro-LGBT congressional candidates. Founded by billionaire Paul Singer, the super PAC has already spent $700,000 defending pro-LGBT Republicans including U.S. Reps. Richard Hanna of New York and Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania. The group is also supporting Richard Tisei, who is running for a U.S. House seat in Massachusetts. 

"What American Unity PAC is committed to doing is ensuring that as these courageous elected officials follow their conscience and do the right thing, that there is a political network in place that's there to defend them," senior adviser Jeff Cook-McCormac said.
