Ahead of the ruling, many religious conservatives are reiterating their opposition to allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry legally.

He accused Republican Speaker Robin Vos and Reince Priebus, Trump's former chief of staff, of not doing enough to force her out. Wolfe did not steal the election from Trump. “I’ve heard so much about Meagan Wolfe, and it’s like unanimous, she shouldn’t be there," Trump said on the Regular Joe Show.
