Stewart Blasts GOP: They’re Always Angry When Asked About Gay Marriage

‘Candidates who oppose gay marriage can’t do it with the fire and brim stone rhetoric — the worst they can do is sound like a catty relative’

STEWART: “Anyone else want to weigh in? How about straight-talking firebrand Ted Cruz?”

QUESTION: “If you had a loved one or a friend getting married in a same-sex wedding, would you attend it?”
CRUZ: “Well, I will tell you I haven’t faced that circumstance.”

STEWART: “Nice try, reporter. He doesn’t have friends and doesn’t get invited to those things, especially weddings. Ted Cruz and the happiest day of someone’s life they don’t really go together. At this point, candidates who oppose gay marriage can’t do it with the fire and brim stone rhetoric. The worst they can do is sound like a catty relative. “I’ll go but...” What kind of a Virgo marries a Libra? Really the only thing that hasn’t changed in the last four years is how angry Republicans get when you ask them about it.”

BACHMANN: “What is the gotcha question coming way out of the past. I stand very strong for marriage between one man and one woman.”
CRUZ: “That’s part of the gotcha game but the media tries to twist the question of marriage into, is they try to twist it into a battle of emotions and personalities.”
[end video]
STEWART: “Exactly, emotions and personalities have no place in a discussion about marriage. ( Laughter ) Marriage is an abstract principle that exists on a theoretical plain and has no practical impact on people as god intended. We’ll be right back.”
