Dan Savage Slams Kim Davis: ‘She Thinks She Works For God When She Actually Works For Caesar’ (Video)
Dan Savage says Kim Davis wants to be a “martyr,” and someone should remind her she doesn’t work for God.
Sharing his always insightful and incisive point of view, LGBT activist, author, “Savage Love” columnist, and all-around quick wit Dan Savage Tuesday night weighed in on Rowan County clerk Kim Davis obstructing the civil rights of couples wanting to marry.
“This is about someone hypocritically cashing in, and she is a hypocrite,â€Â Savage told MSNBC host Alex Wagner.
“I think Kim Davis is waiting to cash in,†he said. “I predicted from the beginning that she would defy all the court orders, defy the Supreme Court, she would ultimately be held in contempt of court, lose her job, perhaps go to prison for a short amount of time. And then she will have written for her, ghost written books. She will go on the right-wing lecture circuit and she’ll never have to do an honest day’s work ever again in her life.â€

“This is a woman who’s been divorced three times and married four times,†he noted, as U.S. News & World Report revealed last night, adding that Davis “gave birth to twins five months after divorcing her first husband, they were fathered by her third husband but adopted by her second husband.â€Â
“She’s now onto her fourth husband,†Savage continued. “Jesus Christ himself in scripture condemned divorce, called it adultery and forbids is. Jesus Christ himself in scripture says not one word about same-sex marriage.â€
Davis, Savage observed, is “not being asked to perform a sacrament, she is tasked with ascertaining that the people in front of her, the couple in front of her, have a legal right to get married and to provide them with that license.â€
“She is not a minister. She actually thinks she works for God there in the county courthouse, when she actually works for Caesar — and someone needs to acquaint her with that fact.â€
