Biden Campaign and Dems criticize Michael Knowles for marriage comments, despite Biden’s similar stance
Daily Wire Host Michael Knowles Sparks Outrage at CPAC with Remarks on Marriage
For the second year in a row, Michael Knowles, host of the Daily Wire, has caused a stir at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) with his controversial speech. This time, it was his comments on marriage that outraged the Left.
Knowles took the stage at CPAC and delivered a speech that focused on America’s “identity crisis” and illegal immigration, among other topics. It was reminiscent of his remarks from the previous year, which triggered backlash when he called for the eradication of transgender ideology. However, media outlets misreported his statement, falsely claiming that he called for the eradication of trans-identifying people.
This year, Knowles once again ignited the rage of leftists with his comments on marriage. He boldly stated, “They can’t really turn a couple of men or a couple of women, or three men and a billy goat for that matter, into a marriage. That’s just not what marriage is. No disrespect is intended to anyone. Some people don’t want to get married — okay, there’s no obligation, but marriage has a meaning.”
Knowles continued to defend his stance, asserting that marriage has always been and should always be the union of a man and a woman, with the purpose of procreation and education of children. He emphasized that marriage is a natural institution, not something invented by conservatives.
Unsurprisingly, the Left immediately labeled Knowles as hateful for expressing this viewpoint. President Joe Biden’s campaign team even accused him of echoing the MAGA’s Project 2025 plan to go after marriage equality.

Governor Gavin Newsom of California also chimed in, stating, “The GOP is telling us who they are. We should listen.” Knowles didn’t hesitate to respond, reminding Newsom that then-Senator Biden himself had once declared that “marriage is between a man and a woman.”
I’m just paraphrasing you, Mr. President!

Knowles further defended his position, highlighting the fact that the Democratic Party’s stance on marriage had drastically changed after the Supreme Court’s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015. He pointed out that Biden himself had previously stated that he didn’t support gay marriage.
It’s clear that Knowles’ remarks on marriage have once again ignited a heated debate, with both sides passionately defending their views.
How do progressives on the Left advocate for an inclusive understanding of marriage and support same-sex marriage as a fundamental right
Surprisingly, his comments received backlash from the Left, who accused him of being homophobic and discriminatory towards the LGBTQ+ community. Critics argued that his remarks were an attack on same-sex marriage and an attempt to undermine the rights and validity of LGBTQ+ relationships.
Knowles’ comments on marriage reflect a conservative perspective that is rooted in traditional values and beliefs. Conservatives often argue that marriage should be defined as the union between a man and a woman, based on religious and cultural foundations. They believe that marriage serves a specific purpose in society, which is to create a stable environment for the procreation and upbringing of children.
On the other hand, the Left advocates for an inclusive and progressive understanding of marriage, with many supporting same-sex marriage as a fundamental right. They argue that marriage should be based on love, commitment, and equality, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. To them, marriage is a social contract that affirms the rights and dignity of all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation.
The controversy surrounding Knowles’ remarks at CPAC highlights the ongoing debate over the definition and meaning of marriage in today’s society. It also underscores the deep ideological divide between conservatives and progressives on issues related to LGBTQ+ rights.
It is important to note that while Knowles’ comments may be offensive to some, freedom of speech allows individuals to express their opinions, even if they are controversial or disagreeable to others. However, it is equally important to approach these discussions with respect and empathy, without promoting discrimination or hatred towards any group.
In conclusion, Michael Knowles once again sparked outrage at CPAC with his comments on marriage, drawing criticism from the Left for his conservative viewpoint. The controversy highlights the ongoing debate over the definition and meaning of marriage in today’s society, as well as the deep ideological divide between conservatives and progressives. While freedom of speech allows for the expression of differing opinions, it is crucial to approach these discussions with respect and understanding, without promoting discrimination or hate.
