The producers at Fox News must have thought something had gone wrong with the audio during an interview Tuesday night at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, with conservative Republican Gov. Rick Scott of Florida.
He was asked about same-sex marriage. And as Politico reported, what he said was, it’s been decided.
“The Supreme Court has already made a decision,” Scott told Greta Van Susteren. “It’s the law of the land.”

“We need to figure out how to come together as a country and include the Republican Party. We all need to come together.”
