[WATCH] Liz Cheney Tells “60 Minutes” She Was Wrong About Gay Marriage


In a surprise admission during an interview with “60 Minutes”, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said she had been wrong about gay marriage, which she opposed ahead of a Senate race in 2013. Her objections caused a rift with her sister, Mary, whose spouse, Heather Poe, said Cheney’s position was offensive, posting on Facebook: “I always thought freedom meant freedom for EVERYONE.”
Cheney told CBS: “I was wrong. I was wrong. It’s a very personal issue – and very personal for my family. And my sister and I have had that conversation … Freedom means freedom for everybody.”
