Pelosi Flubs Attempt to Bash Republicans on Gay Marriage

It s always fun to see liberals squirm. They know they re lying, don t have facts on their side and the only way they get things done is to rely on the uninformed voter. Check it out:

Pelosi apparently meant to refer to the 2005 Marriage Protection Act, a Republican-sponsored bill that would have prevented federal courts from reviewing the constitutionality of DOMA.
