In an interview with Fox News conducted
from New Hampshire, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush said
that he hopes the Supreme Court upholds state bans on gay marriage.
The interview with Sean Hannity was
broadcast Tuesday night.
When asked his thoughts on the case
challenging four state marriage bans before the Supreme Court, Bush
said: “I believe in traditional marriage. I hope the Supreme Court
rules that way.”
He added that he's opposed to
discrimination against gay Americans.
Bush, the son and brother of two former
presidents, is competing against 11 announced candidates for the
Republican nomination.
In describing his rivals, he called
former Texas Governor Rick Perry a “real Texan.”
“Rich guy,” he said of Donald
Trump.
Of former New York Senator Hillary
Clinton, his biggest Democratic rival, Bush said that he would put
his work in Florida up against her legislative record “any day of
the week.”
