(CNN) A top adviser and lawyer for President Donald Trump's re-election campaign has a history of pushing anti-gay positions, including linking the legalization of same-sex marriage to bestiality and pedophilia. Ellis' comments, reviewed by CNN's KFile , were made between 2014 and 2019, before she emerged from relative obscurity to join the Trump campaign in November 2019. Ellis criticized the Supreme Court's Obergefell v. Hodges ruling that legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, and predicted it would lead to societally accepted and even legalized bestiality and pedophilia. CNN reached out to Ellis and the Trump campaign for comment but neither responded. Meanwhile, the Trump campaign has made some efforts to appeal to LGBTQ voters.
