Yup, Rick Santorum went there. The former Pennsylvania senator, known for his less-than-enlightened views on gay rights, has opted for the “Some of my best friends…” approach.

ive given you a ton of opportunities yourself to skate away from Omar’s offensive remarks yet you repeatedly refuse to do it, which is in and of itself shockingly offensive. All it takes from you is an admission. I’ll even write it for you: “ I don’t know what antisemitism is, and you’ve refused to define it, but yeah her comments were bad, but I appreciate her apology”
again I don’t care whose remark was worse. That’s not my point. If your point is the rs should have stripped her I’d say ok, but I think the ds should have stripped Omar too.
