Rick Santorum Gets CNN Job
One of America’s Leading Anti-LGBT, Anti-Immigrant Religious Conservatives
Far right wing religious conservative Rick Santorum, the man whose re-election loss was the largest defeat for a sitting senator in a quarter-century, and the man who produced just three failed films as head of a Christian film studio, has just been hired by CNN as a contributor.
The network’s senior media correspondent tweeted the news:
Lots of new CNN contributors announced this morning: @WesleyLowery, @JenGranholm, @RickSantorum, @SteveIsraelNY, Charles Ramsey, more…
