KENOSHA, Wisconsin (LifeSiteNews) — Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson last week reaffirmed his hesitation regarding the controversial efforts to codify gay marriage into federal law, arguing the legislation is “completely unnecessary.”
During a stop at the Kenosha County Fair last week, the Wisconsin lawmaker argued that efforts to enshrine gay marriage in federal law weren’t needed since Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 Supreme Court precedent that forced all 50 states to recognize the unions, would “never be overturned,” Newsweek reported.
Sen. Johnson has generated support from the right for challenging the COVID-19 response, raising the alarm about the Biden family’s business dealings with China, and maintaining a 100% pro-life voting record. However, he recently alarmed conservatives when he said in July he wouldn’t oppose the pro-gay marriage “Respect for Marriage” bill, which was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives last month.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) tells WISN-TV that a bill to protect same-sex marriage is “completely unnecessary” because “the decision on gay marriage will never be overturned” and precedent is “decisive.”
