On Monday, we noted that Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) has not yet commented on a Louisiana justice of the peace who made national news by refusing to marry an interracial couple. Now, Vitter has actually been asked about the incident and dodged the question. Watch the video below.
Mike Stark asked Vitter about being “the only senior official” from the state not to have commented on the story, to which Vitter responded, “I don’t think that’s the case.” Both Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-LA) and Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) have called for Hammond justice of the peace Keith Bardwell to be removed. When Stark pressed Vitter for a comment, Vitter smiled, thanked him, and left.
