But after exiting her position as secretary of state in 2013, Clinton publicly stated her support for same sex marriage in a video for the Human Rights Campaign and recently defended her DOMA support, saying, in an interview with Rachel Maddow, that her backing of DOMA was a "defensive action" to stop the Republican-led momentum that could have banned gay marriage entirely.

It was not easy." Politifact called her out on the claim reporting, "A few weeks before they left the White House, the Clintons were able to muster a cash down payment of $855,000 and secure a $1.995 million mortgage."
