WATCH: Hillary Clinton Says Kim Davis Got What She Deserved
At a campaign event at Cornell College in Iowa this morning, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton offered a pointed critique of antigay Kentucky clerk Kim Davis's ongoing defiance of the Supreme Court decision mandating nationwide marriage equality.
"What would you do about somebody if they were to do something like what Kim Davis did recently?" a young person asked the Democratic front-runner, referring to the clerk who spent six days in jail for contempt of court after she cited her Christian faith and refused to issue marriage licenses to any couples in Rowan County, Ky., to avoid licensing same-sex couples.
"I think what happened to Kim Davis was the right thing," Clinton replied. "She violated the law, and therefore she was arrested. And when she was released, she had to agree that she would not stand in the way of doing her public duty under the Constitution.
"So I actually think that she was treated as she should have been treated," Clinton continued, before affirming that "people are totally entitled to their personal, private beliefs."
