A reminder to the WHCA hangover crowd: while DC was partying, GOP presidential candidates were on the stump in Waukee, Iowa for the five hour Iowa Faith & Freedom summit, putting all their chips in on opposing gay marriage and supporting discriminatory Indiana-style RFRA laws. Here are some highlights:
Marco Rubio

Ted Cruz
Democrats want “mandatory” gay marriage and “liberal fascism”: https://www.youtube.com/
Scott Walker

And don’t miss Chris Christie’s turn as a punchline, Carly Fiorina’s gloss over her electoral past, or Steve King Steve King-ing as hard as we’ve ever seen (no really, just click): https://www.youtube.com/
