Priebus also said he wishes Obama supporters had voted for Romney
The GOP's big tent strategy,
revealed:
The GOP platform leaves no doubt about its absolute opposition to same-sex marriage, but Republican National Chairman Reince Priebus says the party needs to welcome those with other views on a combustible issue that will be considered by the Supreme Court today.
"We do have a platform, and we adhere to that platform," Priebus said in an interview Monday on USA TODAY's Capital Download video series. "But it doesn't mean that we divide and subtract people from our party" who support the right of gay men and lesbians to marry.
In other words, the Republican Party isn't changing its position on marriage equality. But if you support equality and want to vote for Republicans anyway, that's cool with Reince. Because he's got a super big tent.
