Santorum Criticizes Trump’s Gianforte Praise: ‘This Is Not Helpful, It’s Not Good’

With all due respect, I have to say one of the two knows the Republican base better than the other does.

Words matter. Period. Words can incite crazy people to do crazy things. With some people, diplomacy is dead and they just roll on shooting off their mouth as if nothing will happen. What a great example for your kids.

First time I ever remotely agreed with Frothy, but perhaps at his advancing age, he can no longer hear dog whistles?

“and I always say, ‘Don’t look at what the President says, look at what the President does” Really, is that what you say you useless, sycophant tool?!
And now the best you can do is a weasley ‘that’s not helpful’?
Rick Santorum, a top level Republican wanker extraordinaire

I think the — I excuse a lot of that because the President uses a lot of hyperbole when he talks and I always say, ‘Don’t look at what the President says, look at what the President does, but the bottom line is this is not helpful, it’s not good.”

Attention Sen. Frothy! Trump isn’t trying to sway independents or undecideds. He’s trying to get the deplorables to vote in the midterms.

Trump finally says something truthful–that the thug Gianforte is his kind of guy–and Santorum gets up in arms over it? Humph.

Rick, you’re losing.

Donald is teaching everyone how to lie, cheat, molest, torture, and bully only the meek, the mild, the good, and the innocent.

Catholic values are irrelevant now.

This points out the problem with 24/7 news cycles. Gotta have blah blah all day and night and in this case from someone no one cares to listen to.

Holy Crap! I agree with Rick Santorum on something. I’ll be outside my house looking for the four horsemen of the Apocolypse.

What does Rick do these days that makes him relevant enough to bother with anything he says?
