Santorum’s Racist Welfare Rant: ‘I Don’t Want To Make Black People’s Lives Better’ w/Taxpayer Money
GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum has been trying to pull off an upset in the Iowa caucus, but hes drawing criticism ahead of tonights contest for racially charged remarks he recently made about welfare recipients:
At a campaign stop in Sioux City, Iowa on Sunday, Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum singled out blacks as being recipients of assistance through federal benefit programs, telling a mostly-white audience he doesnt want to make black peoples lives better by giving them somebody elses money. [...]
It is unclear why Santorum pinpointed blacks specifically as recipients of federal aid. The original questioner asked how do we get off this crazy train? Weve got so much foreign influence in this country now, adding where do we go from here?
