Trump Court Pick Says He Was Joking When He Compared Gay Marriage To Marrying Bacon

Willett, who has been a Texas Supreme Court justice since 2005 and is known for being active on Twitter, said he was trying to lighten the mood with his bacon post.

“That was the day after the [marriage equality] decision was issued,” he said. “It was my attempt to inject a bit of levity. The country was filled with rancor and polarization. It was a divisive time in the nation.”

A laugh a minute, these Republicans.
