Trump Just Made a Surprise Statement About Kim Davis That’ll Make Many People Furious
Although many Republican presidential candidates this week defended or praised Kentucky clerk Kim Davis for refusing to violate her faith and principles by issuing licenses to same-sex couples seeking marriage, Donald Trump will not.
“The Supreme Court has ruled,” Trump said Friday. “It is the law of the land.”
Trump’s comments differed sharply from those of GOP candidate Mike Huckabee, who Thursday tweeted his defense of Davis, who has been jailed for her stand.
“Kim Davis in federal custody removes all doubts about the criminalization of Christianity in this country. We must defend #ReligiousLiberty!” Huckabee tweeted.
“I’m a believer in both sides of the picture,” Trump said Friday on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.
Trump said Davis [should] not have become personally involved and could have allowed her deputy clerks to issue the licenses.
“She (Davis) can take a pass and let somebody else in the office do it in terms of religious, so you know, it’s a very … tough situation, but we are a nation, as I said yesterday, we’re a nation of laws,” he said.
