Why Would CNN Stoop To Hiring PRick Santorum To Represent repubs On Election Day Broadcast?

[sfstaxprep]

I was really hoping he would just go away once he lost his Senate seat.

I had to switch to MSNBC, because I just can't stand him.

[wcmagumba]

1. I did the exact same thing...

[blue neen]

2. That is a very good question.

Why would they hire Rick Santorum? He's obnoxious.

[msongs]

3. he works cheap? saves cnn $$$? nt

[relayerbob]

5. Or the only one willing to go on CNN and attempt to defend the GOP

10. +1 n/t

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Look no further than their Ownership and Management.

[Laelth]

6. Nobody else wanted the job. n/t

25. I think you could be right

[Wounded Bear]

7. Had to find the appropriate loser?

[Vinca]

8. Maybe they could ask him about his investment in the plasma company being operated

out of a guy's condo that just got tens of millions of taxpayer dollars in funding thanks to Santorum's intervention with Trump.

9. It gives us a chance to remind ourselves how Dan Savage Googlebombed his last name

Warning; graphic. (No graphic images at link, but, the text may not be for the prim & proper)

11. So that you'll watch it and then post about it online. n/t)

12. I can't stand him either.

Better than crazy Michele Bachmann and other right-wingers, maybe, but not enough!

Van Jones is liberal, but his analyses often don't impress me either.

I'll still switch back to CNN periodically.

[sweetloukillbot]

13. Hasn't he been with them for ages? nt

[634-5789]

14. I have no idea what they see in that homophobic clown,

15. This guy?

23. And Mrs. Santorum, prior to Rickie,

had been the "partner" to a liberal OB/GYN doctor for a few years (not that people can't change their views/attitudes....).

But Rickie?

Really - NOBODY likes him!!!!!!!

[radius777]

16. Ever since Trump came on the scene CNN started bringing on

these gaslighting Repubs like Santorum. I tend to change the channel also, no need to hear that noise.

[Totally Tunsie]

17. Santorum is a regular contributor to CNN...

nothing new for Election Day.

[Mike Nelson]

18. Yikes!

... I had to switch, also... was on CNN due to the appearance of Chuck on MSNBC., but he's gone, for now...

[Drum]

19. For the inevitable humiliation

They don’t even have to pay him

[Miigwech]

20. I turn off CNN if he is on. Fucker. Always smirking. At what?

And why? CNN ... WTF are you thinking? Besides he has massive conflicts of interests with investments making $$$$ off COVID. He should not be on .... dirty, corrupt and hateful bigot from the dinosaurs era of old white GOP men. ENOUGH already, ENOUGH!

[coti]

21. Yeah, him and Van Jones. Think I'll be watching MSNBC nt

[mercuryblues]

22. Because nobody else wanted the job.

[arthritisR_US]

24. I did the very same the moment I saw him

and for the very same reason!

[sfstaxprep]

26. MSNBC Has Much Saner Contributors

I agree that Van Jones & Santorum are just pathetic.

Think I'll follow MSNBC, unless CNN changes their on-air "talent."

[roamer65]

27. I want to slap the fucker.

I hate him.

[SeattleVet]

28. He's totally irritating, but...

it should be very entertaining to watch him totally melt down in real time as the evening progresses.
