Not really surprised if Santorum said this or something close enough to be so attributed. He is a fanatical idiot, maybe harsh, but Santorum is unlikeable and an opportunist—running for president last time claiming to be a Pennsylvania resident, for example, while living in a multi-million dollar mansion next door to Newt in northern Virginia. Anyway, the whole matter you reference is rather confusingly presented so hard to tell what is really being claimed. Santorum, though, will surely say something to get the ire up of people and embarrass the GOP.
Santorum may be everything you say he is, but he did not say,”All black men are sexual predators.”
Robert D. Putnam is painting all conservatives with the same paint roller. It matters because the paint bleeds over onto whoever you may be supporting.
“He is a fanatical idiot, maybe harsh...”
I think you are more likely close to idiocy.
