they understand that it's irrational unconstitutional the defense of marriage act. we see what's going to happen. marriage equality is coming state by state right now and at one point hopefully at the federal level through the court. in the meantime, you have people like christie who are at odds with the people out there and really dodging the question as he did today on the air. i think he's dancing around the issue, and at the same time, he's doing that, he's trying to portray himself at resolute when he's anything but resolute. >> founder and director of truth wins out. we thank you kindly for your time. >> thank you. >> the state senator who fierce the girl scouts apologizes for that and beats it up again. >> and the greatest political hypocrisy caught on tape. >> her peeps get all wee weed up about the movie condemning her. >> the breitbart theater, this gag really tied the room together. >> the greatest short political video ever recorded and this wisconsin state assembly man the star, next. >> s&p's seven remaining political friends no damn with my the movie

she shoots him, and her defense in this case is self-defense because she says that he had been abusing her sexually and physically for a long time. her mother has been a staunch advocate for her daughter, and it has torn apart the mother's family and the father's family. it's interesting, i think the reason that it took so long is because it's such an emotional case. i have rarely heard of a self-defense case work, be successful, when the victim was killed in their sleep. so this is just a fascinating case, and i've been watching it quite closely. >> which begs the question, could this set some sort of precedent? >> that's the thing. people are saying, what does this mean for victims of abuse? is this giving the victim a license to kill? i think that goes too far, brooke. i don't think that's going to happen, but certainly i think it's something we're going to see more of, perhaps, in terms of the defense of victims of abuse coming out and harming their perpetrators. >> sunny hostin, thank you very much. now this. >>> did you think you could hide? >> u.s. martials on the hunt for sex o

i do think it was a defensive measure on the romney campaign's part. but what we're witnessing here is a candidate who is still casting about for validation and acceptance from a base that even in the florida primary that he won is still saying they don't think he's conservative enough and they want -- they're hoping that someone else will step forth who they could vote for. >> john rolston, going off what jonathan just said, when you think back about their meeting in new york and the way they did it today, you really get the feeling that mitt romney knows very well that he's getting his hand very dirty when he shakes hands with donald trump. >> well, lawrence, the person to look at on that stage is not donald trump and not mitt romney, but look at the expression on anne romney's face. she looks like she's come down with some terrible affliction. he can barely keep a straight face. she looks pained to be there. and your description is very apt. they all but ran out of there, wouldn't take questions at all. whether it's a defensive move or a desperate m
