Why Pubbies Are OK With Gay "Marriage"

You will recall that various Republicans were all-OK with gay "marriage."  Or if not, they kept their mouths firmly shut about the matter and pretended that SCOTUS had the final say.  (It doesn't.)

Apparently they was just doing what their paymaster told them to do.

...Hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer, CEO of Elliott Management Corp., said that before his son Andrew came out of the closet he would have rated himself "a solid 2.1" out of 10 when it came to accepting LGBT issues. 

One night in 1998, when he and Andrew were at dinner, Andrew started asking Singer about his "views on homosexuality." The questions were asked in such a way that Singer began to wonder whether his son could be gay....

And he was/is.  So....

...Over the next couple months, Singer said his conversations with Andrew brought him to a 5.5 or 6 out of 10 on the acceptance scale. He eventually became a steadfast supporter of gay rights. 

In 2012, he launched the American Unity PAC, which aims to persuade fellow conservatives to support same-sex marriage. He has actively supported same-sex marriage campaigns and makes large donations to LGBT groups....
Singer spread his $5K+ donations to damn near every Republican running over the last 10 years.

You'll also note--as did Tucker Carlson--that Republicans cannot find anything wrong with Vulture Capitalism, which is Paul Singer's specialty.

Nice.
