Mitt Romney came out swinging against marriage equality during his Friday CPAC address, claiming he “prevented Massachusetts from becoming the Las Vegas of gay marriage.”
That zinger, accompanied by reiterated pledges to defend the Defense of Marriage Act and support a federal marriage amendment, showed a side of Romney eager for social conservative cred — this one month after he told a New Hampshire debate audience that “if people are looking for someone who will discriminate against gays or will in any way try and suggest that people that have different sexual orientations don’t have full rights in this country, they won’t find that in me.”
On Friday, Romney told the CPAC audience that as Massachusetts governor, “Our conservative values also came under attack. Less than a year after I took office, the state’s supreme court inexplicably found a right to same-sex marriage in the constitution written by John Adams. I presume he’d be surprised.”
