President Joe Biden was mocked on Twitter after retelling a story about coming to an “epiphany” on gay marriage in high school despite his long public stance<\/a> against federal protections for same-sex nuptials.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Monday, Biden sat down with Kal Penn on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show” to discuss the president’s recent success in passing the Respect for Marriage Act, a law that intends to keep gay and interracial marriage<\/a> legal should the U.S. Supreme Court reverse previous decisions.<\/p>\n

At one point, Penn asked Biden to detail his own personal “evolution” on same-sex marriage and what he can do to protect LGBTQ Americans and transgender kids from “regressive” laws.<\/p>\n

“I can remember exactly when my epiphany was,” Biden began. “I hadn’t thought about it much, to tell you the truth. I was a senior in high school and my dad was dropping me off. I remember about to get out of the car, and I looked to my right and two well-dressed men in suits kissed each other.”<\/p>\n

According to Biden, he turned to his father, who said, “Joey, it’s simple. They love each other.”<\/p>\n

Biden, during the interview, agreed with his father’s words and asserted that he was not joking about the story.<\/p>\n

“It doesn’t matter whether it’s same-sex or heterosexual couple. They should be able to be married. What is the problem?” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Twitter users quickly jumped on the president, casting doubt on the story’s authenticity and recalling Biden’s lengthy political history of opposition towards same-sex marriage.<\/p>\n

The Dispatch Editor-in-Chief Jonah Goldberg tweeted, “So he’s basically admitting he lied about a moral conviction for the next five decades? How heroic. Also, the idea that he was thinking about gay marriage in 1960-61 is really just silly.”<\/p>\n

“Joe Biden has never let the truth get in the way of a good story,” GOP Political Director Elliot Echols said, linking to a video compilation of past comments made by Biden.<\/p>\n

Mark Hemingway, a Senior Writer at RealClearInvestigations, noted that Biden voted for the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in 1996, a law that prevented same-sex couples from receiving benefits to other married couples under federal law.<\/p>\n

“Remember when the media made a big production of being incensed by all of Trump’s lies? I\u2019m beginning to think that was insincere\u2026” Hemingway tweeted.<\/p>\n

Author AG Hamilton also pointed out Biden’s vote for DOMA, writing, “It will never not be weird that Biden simply lies about stuff like this constantly.”<\/p>\n

Other Twitter users also piled on Biden for the story.<\/p>\n

In a 2006 “Meet the Press” interview, Biden grumbled over Senate debates on the possibility of a Constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage after he and other Democrats already supported DOMA.<\/p>\n

“We’ve all voted, I’ve voted and others have said look, marriage is between a man and a woman and states must respect that. Nobody’s violated that law. There’s been no challenge to that law. Why do we need a constitutional amendment? Marriage is between a man and a woman. What’s the game going on here?” Biden said at the time.<\/p>\n

During the 2008 Vice Presidential Debates, Biden was asked point-blank if he supported gay marriage.<\/p>\n

“No,” Biden said. “Barack Obama and I support redefining from a civil side what constitutes marriage. We do not support that.”<\/p>\n

Later that year, Biden said his position on the issue was “evolving”<\/a> while sitting down for an interview with Good Morning America.<\/p>\n

Four years later, Biden finally endorsed same-sex marriage on May 6, 2012, on NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
