Joe Scarborough: ‘When Is The President Going To Be As Brave As Dick Cheney?’ | This morning, Joe Scarborough and David Gregory mocked the White House’s efforts to push back against Vice President Joe Biden’s embrace of marriage equality, with the Meet The Press host remarking “that this administration appears poised to change its position on same-sex marriage.” Scarborough asked why the president’s rich gay donors “don’t just give to Dick Cheney because Dick Cheney supports gay marriage?” “When is the president going to be as brave as Dick Cheney?” he pressed.

Chuck Todd observed that “this episode sort of forces the conversation” and predicted that the administration will come out for marriage equality before the Democratic National Convention in September.
