2:02Now Playing"A Republican congressman from Texas who is an ardent defender of the anti-gay Defense of Marriage Act found himself inadvertently supporting gay rights at an LGBT event after he entered the wrong door.
Rep. Ralph Hall, who, at 90, is both the oldest serving member of Congress and the oldest person ever to serve in the House of Representatives, was supposed to attend a Capitol Hill reception hosted by a fellow lawmaker, but accidentally walked into the wrong room and found himself in the midst of some very confused members of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund."*
In an amusing mix-up, Rep. Ralph Hall (R-TX) who has stalwartly pushed for DOMA and to ban gay marriage, wandered into an event for the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund. How did he handle it? Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
