CNN has got to fire Rick Santorum over this
CNN seems to think that “balanced” coverage means keeping Rick Santorum on staff in order to give right wing racist liars a voice. There are plenty of conservatives CNN could pick to provide a reasonable view from the right, but instead they keep sticking with Santorum. Maybe not after this.
Rick Santorum just gave a speech in which he tried to rewrite Native American history in racist and frankly psychotic fashion:

DNC Chair Jaime Harrison asked if CNN was okay with Santorum’s words, and tweeted this: “Seriously is any one surprised to hear this hot garbage coming from Rick Santorum?! Nothing was here?! No native American culture in American culture?! America hasn’t changed?!”
