It was May of 2019. Joe Biden less than a month earlier had just tossed his hat into the ring to run for president amid a field of strong Democratic candidates, and Fox News host Laura Ingraham falsely suggested that the former Obama Vice President was opposed to same-sex marriage because he's a Catholic.
Telling disgraced Republican former House Speaker Newt Gingrich she was "just demonstrating how far left the Democrats have been pulled," Ingram said, "I think Obama has always been there, but the party hasn't."
"And so whether it's on the question of gay marriage or, or the issue of abortion or now gender bending and also – I mean," Ingraham continued. Her voice started to crack as she disdainfully and mockingly opined, "you gotta, you gotta sense that Biden is not comfortable with any of this. I mean, he, he's got to be like, 'my consultants are telling me I've got to say this stuff, but my God, I still got to go to Mass on Sunday. Like, I still got to figure this out.'"
Joe Biden, as Vice President seven years earlier, in 2012, had famously said on "Meet the Press" that he supported same-sex marriage, before President Barack Obama had publicly stated his support. That sent the administration into a temporary bit of chaos and set the course for, ultimately, the U.S. Supreme Court declaring same-sex marriage bans unconstitutional three years later, in 2015.
Fast forward from May of 2019 to December of 2022.
