Obama’s Press Secretary Wriggles Away From His 1996 Gay Marriage Support

Think Progress’ Igor Volsky shared this video of White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs today again wriggling away from Barack Obama’s 1996 declaration in support of marriage equality.

He writes, “Washington Blade’s Chris Johnson continued to press White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on President Obama’s 1996 support for same-sex marriage at today’s press briefing, leading Gibbs to again dodge the question by re-stating Obama’s now much more conservative position on the issue. At one point Gibbs even seems to accept Johnson’s premise that Obama has to “re-claim” his earlier progressive support for marriage equality.”
