Florida Republican Governor Rick Scott fumbled and bumbled a simple question about discrimination and same-sex marriage – and the audience wouldn’t let him off the hook.
After “Fangate,” the actual content of the debate between Florida Republican Governor Rick Scott and Democrat Charlie Crist was largely ignored. While many believe Gov. Scott sealed his fate by initially refusing to debate Crist because of a fan, what was said after that is important.

Scott was asked in Wednesday’s debate if he believes banning same-sex marriage is “discriminatory.”
The Florida Republican governor just couldn’t manage a simple yes or no.
And his response, “none of us believe in discrimination” was so blatantly patronizing and just plain false, when he restated it, “I don’t believe in discrimination,” the audience actually booed.
Meanwhile, when Charlie Crist stated he supports same-sex marriage, the audience loudly cheered.
