Nancy Pelosi Says GOP Proposal on Military Chaplains Is 'Fraud'
Nancy Pelosi had strong words for a Republican proposal to protect military chaplains from performing same-sex weddings, calling the whole idea a "fraud."
"There’s nothing that says that chaplains act against their faith," the House Minority Leader said during a news conference Thursday, objecting to the suggestion from a reporter for a right-wing news site, CNSNews.com, that they needed a conscience clause.
“But by ordering the chaplains that don’t believe in performing same-sex marriages," the reporter followed up, "by ordering them to do that, do you think that is —”
“Nobody is ordering them to do that,” Pelosi interrupted, according to video of the exchange posted by CNSNews.com. “They can rest assured that if they don’t believe in that, they don’t have to perform those."
