Santorum: Reprehensible W.H. leaker equally atrocious to leaked remarks about McCain



“If she said it, then there should have been some discipline, fired, I don’t know,” Santorum waffled. “There should have been some disciplinary action and they should have owned up to it and you know, there’s plenty of blame to go around here. The person who leaked is reprehensible in my mind. Reprehensible because you obviously leaked something that’s going to hurt the president.”

“Obviously it was a rude and foul thing to say that we don’t need in our public discourse,” he continued. “Who is this leaker that supposedly works in the White House? That to me is equally atrocious.”

“But senator, is it equal the fact the comment was said or the fact that someone leaked it out?” a baffled Bolduan asked. “You think those things are equally egregious?”

“Everyone’s going to say, ‘Oh, no one ever says anything foul or crude at internal meetings,'” Santorum protested. “It happens all the time, unfortunately. And it shouldn’t but it does. and the reality is that the person who leaked it took something that was a private thing that would never have gotten out and put it out there in the public stage. and so yes, I think they are very, very culpable in this situation. They’ve added fuel to the fire.”

Why does CNN have him on at all? If they want a conservative yakker why did they pick one who's so dumb he can barely zip his own fly?

meetings but the normal business and planning meetings I have been in
over my lifetime have never included foul, crude and insulting comments.
Just lucky me I guess....

" . . . leaked something that's going to hurt the president." Rick, under what rock have you been living since the election ?? NOBODY could hurt trump more than the swill that comes out of his own mouth.

A stupid remark for every occasion. He's as constant as taxes and dying.
