A commenter reminded (Representative Larry) Pittman that the Supreme Court ruling settled the law on gay marriage and that the lawmaker should get over it.
Pittmans response: And if Hitler had won, should the world just get over it? Lincoln was the same sort (of) tyrant, and personally responsible for the deaths of over 800,000 Americans in a war that was unnecessary and unconstitutional.
Another commenter asked Pittman to explain why he believes the Civil War, which resulted in the end of slavery, was unnecessary. He did not respond to the question on the Facebook page.
Pittman is the pastor of Ridgecrest Presbyterian Church in Stanly County and has served in the House since 2013.
