On Monday’s CBS This Morning, co-host Norah O’Donnell asked New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor about how the Supreme Court’s gay marriage ruling would impact 2016 Republican candidates: “...none of the 13 Republican candidates who are running for president have embraced gay marriage. How does that affect the ongoing presidential campaign?”

Kantor replied: “I think those candidates are in a tough spot....They were saying that they disagreed with the decision but they were very respectful everyone, etcetera, etcetera. Because they don't really want to be seen as throwbacks, they don’t want to be seen as backwards looking.”
