Republican presidential candidate
Donald Trump on Saturday refused to answer a reporter's question on
marriage equality, telling him repeatedly to sit down.
On Saturday, Trump split four states
with GOP rival Ted Cruz.

Clinton 1 on “Super Saturday.”)
At a press conference in West Palm
Beach, Florida, the DailyMail.com asked Trump about his stance on
marriage equality.
“We have a policy on it. And I've
said it very, very strongly,” he responded without elaborating on
the policy.
“And I think you know it. And it's
all done and, you know, in a campaign how many times do I have to say
it?”
While Trump has never said that he
supports marriage rights for gay couples, his initial response to the
Supreme Court's June finding that gay couples have a constitutional
right to marry was to accept it.
“Anybody that's making that an issue
is doing it for political reasons,” Trump told The Hollywood
Reporter. “The Supreme Court ruled on it.”
During an appearing on MSNBC's Morning
Joe, Trump said that the “decision's been made, and that is the
law of the land.”
Recently, however, Trump has said that
he “would strongly consider” appointing justices opposed to the
ruling.
At Saturday's press conference, Trump
responded that “we're not here for discussing that. But everybody
knows how I feel on it.” When pressed on the issue, he ordered the
reporter to “sit down.”
