GOP presidential hopeful Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) sat down with CNN’s Jake Tapper on Tuesday and Tapper confronted him with the numbers on same-sex marriage.

Marco Rubio told reporters on Tuesday that he has never supported a national constitutional amendment banning gay marriage despite his general opposition to such unions, preferring to leave the issue to the states. But a 2010 voter guide from a leading social conservative group (the Christian Coalition) indicates he supported such an amendment as recently as 2010 and a spokeswoman for the organization told msnbc they stand by their account.”
