She still never answered the question and totally avoided the question of the ones who believe in traditional marriage. What about their rights? Are they not Americans too who deserve the same rights when it comes to their freedoms?

[joesloan]

So . . . the 1st Amendment as it relates to FREEDOM OF RELIGION is now less important than recognizing same-sex marriage?

LGBTQ should open their own churches if they want church weddings. Don't force others to betray their own beliefs.

[sallyannedeegan]

The entire administration is INCOMPETENT

[mizu]

I like the way she didn't answer the question

[joepack]

Separation from Church and State, is to protect the church's religious freedoms. Not to protect the state.

So look. Look. So? Look! We are and have been very clear. Look. So? But look- I have your non-answer right here!

[sweetbean]

Just because he is committed, doesn't make him right.

“So, look, let me be clear, I’m not going to answer your question. The answer is self-evident.”

No one should be complaining about these things now. We just had our best chance to make changes and we blew it.

"Important for many Americans". I don't care who gets married to whom honestly, but if you start persecuting Christians over this then you are going to have a horribly bad outcome. People need to remember that people came here because of religious persecution. Let whoever get married, but don't take it as far as to tell Christians they have no choice in the matter.

He has no authority over God's creations. They are already protected under the constitution, equality for all when it comes to the right to live as you choose as long as you don't infringe upon your neighbors rights to live as they choose and neither is breaking the law

[johnhenderson]

As usual, she doesn’t answer the question. How does she get away with it? You’d think press would be frustrated and and demand an answer

[Taldaran]

It's amazing that as the mouthpiece of the administration, she is clearly never had any communication studies in college or has someone who coaches her in public speaking. Starting a response with "so, look" comes off as confrontational, and she does it all the time.

[dorriejames]

She should run for office when this gig is up because she smugly never answered the question!

[Charles-qxon]

It is sad that this person represents this Admin. and can " never " answer a honest question! It's always spin, dodge or ignore!

[danielnixon]

Can she speak without looking at her notes. People use to know things. Especially if it's your damn job. Notes on who to call. Notes to answer. Seems a 5th grader could do that.

[debbiehernandez]

That is not answering his What about discrimination of Christian It does not address it, You did not answer it.
