You really have to read up on the whole situation to understand her position. In Kentucky, all marriage licenses must have the signature of the county clerk. The deputy clerks cannot issue the licenses without her signature. So even if the deputies were the ones to hand out the paper, it still would be here signature on the document. In her view, that makes her complicit in sin.
Now she did let the people know that they could go to another county clerk to get the license, and the county judge even offered to sign the licenses for the homosexual couples, which he could legally do. They refused. That showed that the issue was not about being able to marry, but about forcing HER to be a part of it against her will or be ruined.

Otherwise, she has to face the consequences.
I have been in similar situations.
As a young man I once had a job at a gas station; where everyone around — even the boss — was stealing!
They all tried to pressure me to steal too!
I refused to steal and was, consequentially, let go.
Sometimes one has those kinds of tests.

I didn’t realize that. Thanks for the clarification. I was responding to the facts as I understood them, which was based on Trump’s apparent understanding of the situation, which he conveyed during his interview.
