Speaking at a meeting with Iowa state legislators Wednesday, Rick Santorum said that his opposition to the 2003 Supreme Court decision striking down anti-gay “sodomy” bans is proof of his strength of leadership, reports Right Wing Watch.
Addressing the “media created” backlash against r'ight to discriminate' legislation in Indiana and Arkansas, Santorum stated:
“I go back 13 years to when I was in the Senate and stood up and said, ‘If the Supreme Court decides a case this way, then all these bad things are going to start happening.' And I said we would have same-sex marriage in this country in ten years. I was wrong: it was five years. And I was put through a national wringer like no one had been put through and I have been put through over and over and over again because I am not going to back down from what I believe is the right course for our country.”
He added that he has been “fighting for the truth and not the perversion that we saw the media try to ram down the public's throat about what Indiana and Arkansas were doing.”
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP…
