Anderson Cooper helps Rick Santorum by stopping him before he says too many racist things in a row

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump supporters, egged on by Trump and the Republican Party’s insistence that there has been magical massive voter fraud perpetrated by the Democratic Party for decades, are threatening a lot of violence. Trump himself has been doing the thing he does, which is blame everyone else for his failures. In this case, it’s some kind of “rigged” election that has led to him being obliterated in the popular vote across the country.

Reports have come out of Michigan, with video evidence supporting it, that Trump supporters have attempted to invade vote-counting stations in Detroit. CNN is discussing the threat of mass disruption and violence that Donald Trump is threatening with every stupid tweet he makes and every breathy, racist horse whisperer sound he utters. Rick Santorum, the former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania, has a well-paying job on CNN even though he is an Islamophobic, racist prick, and failed politician. Because he is all of those things, it comes as no surprise that his attempt at condoning and defending the divisive and fascistic rhetoric being used by a white supremacist president ends up being super duper racist.

As the CNN panel, which included Van Jones, pointed out that the MAGA Trump heads are getting dangerously frothed up by their death cult commander in chief, Santorum had this to say: “They boarded up businesses in New York City, not to keep Donald Trump supporters from looting, okay?” Van Jones attempted to point out that Joe Biden isn’t stoking the very justifiable rage against law enforcement and Donald Trump that Americans could very well have right now. Santorum is not to be dissuaded from expressing his racism for the day.

RICK SANTORUM: Where is the real threat here? I don't see any people storming around burning buildings and crashing thru—

At this point Anderson Cooper cuts in to stop Ricky from further embarrassing CNN, bringing up that there are lots of reasons people are boarding up their businesses and big burly white guys with guns and a lack of civic sense is very possibly one of them, saying “The caravans of armed trump folks driving around in big trucks blocking traffic? That is not a concern?” Santorum reiterates that he didn’t think you would have to worry about that in New York City. Quick reminder: Three days ago MAGA “caravans” blocked traffic on the New Jersey Parkway and the Mario Cuomo Bridge.

1. They Hired Him

Let him say something to embarrass CNN. I turn the channel immediately when I see him on the panel. Yesterday I accidentally changed over to CNN, and he was in the middle of talking, so I quickly went back.

2. I understand CNN wanting to provide a voice from both sides....

but why they chose that smarmy shit, I'll never know.

[BComplex]

3. I agree. I can't stay on the channel when I see Santorum. He's as bad as they get.

They can get the republican side from someone that is actually sane and human.

I can't think of any such republican in today's republican party, however.

5. he may be the top pick in that pathetic lot!

[BComplex]

6. That's pitiful. Maybe one of the Lincoln Project republicans would be glad to help them

out? There are the REAL republicans.

4. Stop before he whips himself into a feculent froth!

Oops, too late...

7. "Not In NYC"? I think the premise that underlies the concept of 'motor vehicles' might elude

our frothy friend Rick.

8. I think this misses the point

It is true that the Trump supporters can be dangerous and are made exponentially more dangerous by the claims of Trump.

But it is also true that there could be protests from the Left and we have seen that those can get violent and out-of-control as well.

But those left riots could ALSO be Trumps fault. Biden is saying stay calm and count while Trump is declaring victory and trying to steal it. If he gets even a sniff of success in making that argument, there could very well be left wing riots in the street. And it would be his fault.

Or worse, both sides could be out their clashing against each other.

I have said before and will say again, he is going to get people killed.
