During an appearance at the Iowa State Fair this afternoon, businessman and Tea Party presidential candidate Herman Cain told openly gay CNN anchor Don Lemon that he doesn’t support changing the constitution…unless it’s to prevent gays and lesbians from getting married:
CAIN: Don’t re-write the constitution, enforce the Constitution, that’s what that whole movement is about.
DON LEMON: Don’t rewrite the constitution? Even when it comes to gay marriage, same-sex marraige?
CAIN: Don’t rewrite the constitution. Now, there is a difference between rewriting the constitution and adding something to the constitution. There is a difference between that, okay?
