HRC Digital Campaign: Why are Bush, Walker and Trump Ducking on Kentucky Clerk Ignoring Federal Law?
September 3, 2015

Today, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the nation’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization, launched a new digital campaign asking Jeb Bush, Scott Walker and Donald Trump to take a position regarding Kentucky’s Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, who was held in contempt in federal court today for her disobedience of a federal court order directing her to begin issuing marriage licenses to all qualified couples in her community.
Virtually every other GOP candidate has spoken out on this issue; Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Rand Paul, Bobby Jindal and Marco Rubio have defended Davis, while Lindsey Graham, Carly Fiorina and Chris Christie have said she should follow the law. Kasich said that the Supreme Court has settled the matter.
The promoted tweets will appear in Iowa, Washington, D.C., and the home states of Walker, Bush and Trump starting today.
“Today’s court ruling is another reminder that we need a President who will appoint pro-equality judges who will properly uphold the rule of law. We’re a nation of laws, and marriage equality is the law of the land,” said HRC Communications Director Jason Rahlan. “Jeb Bush, Scott Walker and Donald Trump should say whether they support clerks being able to flout the law and stand between LGBT Americans and their constitutional right to marry the person they love.”............
