"Obama started out noncommittal on same-sex marriage and ended up endorsing it."
The absolute fuck? Obama started out vocally endorsing same-sex marriage and then had his justice department spend tax money actively defending it for half his first term. He could have pulled support on Inauguration Day, if he'd cared to. Support for gay marraige was like 80% among Dems the entire time. In case you're wondering what Biden and Harris's 'willingness to change' is worth.
It costs them literally nothing to lie, and most of the time they won't even bother to do that for a leftists' vote.
President Barack Obama's 2008 political platform endorsed the repeal of DOMA.[55][56] On June 12, 2009, the Justice Department issued a brief defending the constitutionality of DOMA in the case of Smelt v. United States, continuing its longstanding practice of defending all federal laws challenged in court.[57] On June 15, 2009, Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese wrote an open letter to Obama that asked for actions to balance the DOJ's courtroom position: "We call on you to put your principles into action and send legislation repealing DOMA to Congress."
On February 23, 2011, Attorney General Eric Holder released a statement regarding lawsuits challenging DOMA Section 3. He wrote: "...Given that conclusion, the President has instructed the Department not to defend the statute in such cases."
You guys can hate on leftists all you want, but you absolutely do not get to re-write history.
