CNN has terminated its contract with senior political commentator Rick Santorum after racist, inaccurate remarks he made about Native Americans, HuffPost has learned.
Santorum, a former Republican senator and two-time failed GOP presidential candidate, sparked outrage last month after claiming there was "nothing" in America before white colonizers arrived and that Native people haven't contributed much to American culture, anyway.
"We birthed a nation from nothing. I mean, there was nothing here," Santorum told students during remarks at a Young America's Foundation event. "I mean, yes, we have Native Americans, but candidly, there isn't much Native American culture in American culture."

But on Saturday, a CNN senior executive told HuffPost that the network quietly ended its contract with Santorum this week. This executive, who requested anonymity to speak openly, said the decision to cut ties with Santorum came after he went on one of the network's shows, "Cuomo Prime Time," to explain himself shortly after he made his racist comments. He blew it, said this executive, and after that, nobody at the network wanted to keep him around.

Outstanding! 
*Penn Hills doesn't want you - they didn't like the way you ripped them off claiming to live in a $100,000 house and "demanded" on-line schooling for your children while you were living in a $2,000,000 mansion in Virginia
*Pennsylvania doesn't want you - you failed to stick up for the "workers" of Pennsylvania - going to bat for the corporate HQ's who wanted more protection from those pesky 'workers.'
*And now CNN doesn't want you. Imagine - a news corporation expecting truth and insight instead of some misdirected religious screed.
So where now?
Perhaps some 'remote' jungle area in Central or South America where you can set society straight?
Don't forget your "Kool-Aid" packets! 
Other than Virginia or Georgia, he could run for governor of a former Confederate state and win.
What a terrible - but probably true - realization......... 
... CNN should not have been paying this man. He was always awful...
by committing genocide on Native-American culture(s). Nations already here and thriving. A new matrix was established with slavery as the midwife of that so-called "birthing" matrix that slaughtered MILLIONS of Native-Americans and slaves from Africa. Bloody birth and now the child is starting to feed upon itself. May not live. Lots of challenges...
All this goddamn revisionist strategy to cause more violence and bloodshed amongst Americans. I sense bannon, stephen miller, kushner, in this revisionist bullshit. Ivanka also if she's not out selling her cheap white house brand.
…culture in American culture."
Maybe that’s because of the whole genocide thing.
Ya think?
I see what you did there! 
but it's about fucking time!!!!! 
And this part -
He "blew it" every single appearance that he has had and would continue to "blow it" had he been kept on.
