Again, not to predetermine or predispose the speaker, I just don't know how many gay people he knows. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she voted against him in part because he voted for the "Democrat gay marriage bill." So you're out of step, you're out of line, Marjorie, if you've got a problem with gay marriage. I don't think during that time, President Obama or then-Vice President Biden were supportive of LGBT equality. I'm not surprised it tracks with where he is on gay marriage, it tracks with where he is on LGBT acceptance issues in society.

On Tuesday, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer dropped out of the speaker race. Two representatives publicly said they wouldn't vote for him given his vote on gay marriage. In 2022, Emmer was one of 39 Republicans to support the Respect for Marriage Act. He dropped out of the race before the day even ended, with two GOP members saying he wasn't fit for the job due to his previous support for a federal gay marriage bill. Rep. Rick Allen, a Republican from Georgia, told reporters on Tuesday that he was "very concerned" about Emmer's same-sex marriage vote and would not be voting for him.

Trump isn't a fan of Tom Emmer, the GOP's latest nominee for speaker of the House. AdvertisementAdvertisementThe weeks-long quest to find a new Republican speaker of the House took yet another chaotic turn on Tuesday after former President Donald Trump bashed his party's newly-elected nominee, Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota. "I have many wonderful friends wanting to be Speaker of the House, and some are truly great Warriors," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "RINO Tom Emmer, who I do not know well, is not one of them." "Voting for a Globalist RINO like Tom Emmer would be a tragic mistake!"
