OMG! I had to watch the video to make sure Santorum actually utered these stupid statements. He did. This man is not fit to be president. No wonder the Pennsylvanians booted him out by a wide margin.
Our choice is Romney or this moron? Only Newt “gets it”.
Yep. Santorum's statement is moronic.
As for Newt "getting it," though, he had this to say:
“The young man apparently was not following the person who’s being investigated,” Gingrich told CNN’s Piers Morgan in an interview Thursday night. “Apparently, the shooter was following the young man. That’s not a stand your own ground, that’s a chase the other person into their ground. And I think you’re going to find the law, as interpreted normally, doesn’t apply to this case.”
He is jumping the gun also, before all of the facts are known.
As far as I can tell, Ron Paul is the only Republican candidate who hasn't made a statement regarding this case. That's probably because nobody in the press has asked him for one, because nobody cares what he thinks at this point.
Sadly, Romney is the only R candidate who has answered this one correctly:
“What happened to Trayvon Martin is a tragedy,” Romney said. “There needs to be a thorough investigation that reassures the public that justice is carried out with impartiality and integrity.”
Don't state an opinion until all of the facts are official.
