Donald Trump On Rogue Clerk Kim Davis: "The Decision Has Been Made, And That Is The Law Of The Land"


Speaking with the crew of MSNBC's Morning Joe, Donald Trump said while he saw both sides to the issue of Kim Davis' refusal to issue marriage licenses (landing her in jail at the present), ultimately the SCOTUS decision legalizing marriage equality is the law of the land and "you have to go with it."

“Well, look, the decision came down from the Supreme Court, Gene, so I’m a believer on both sides of the picture. I would say the simple answer is let her clerks do it. Now from what I understand, she’s not letting her clerks do it either. The other simple answer is rather than going through this because it’s really a very, very sticky situation, a terrible situation, 30 miles away they have other places. They have many other places where you get licensed. and you have them actually quite nearby. That’s another alternative. I hate to see her being put in jail. I understand what they’re doing. It would be certainly nice if she didn’t do it but other people in her office do it. But from what I understand, she won’t allow other people in her office to do it. You have to go with it. I mean you have to go with it. The decision has been made, and that is the law of the land.”
