Rick Santorum gives away the GOP’s game on impeachment: ‘Even if he did it, Republicans don’t care!’ Trump-supporting CNN contributor Rick Santorum on Tuesday admitted that President Donald Trump likely told former national security adviser John Bolton that he was extorting the Ukrainian government to push it to investigate his political opponents — but then insisted that the president didn’t really mean it.
While discussing the latest reported revelations from Bolton’s upcoming book, Santorum said he’s inclined to believe that Bolton is telling the truth. “I tend to believe that the president probably said this to John Bolton,” he conceded. “And it goes back to the things we talk about all the time — the president says lots of different things on both sides of the issues. I hear it all the time here — well, the president is so chaotic, he says things he doesn’t mean! And so, uh, it’s not surprising to me that he would, maybe, in a fit, say something like this to John Bolton.” Santorum then argued that no one should hold this against the president because the extortion plot failed.

CNN conservative contributor Rick Santorum, a former Republican senator, took on an entire panel of CNN experts on Wednesday about the legitimacy of impeaching President Donald Trump.
As members of the U.S. House of Representatives were debating articles of impeachment, Santorum told legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin that Trump has done nothing to interfere in 2020 election because his deal with Ukraine fell through. One panelist admitted that “we don’t know” if Trump is currently taking actions to illegally interfere in the 2020 election. “Oh, we don’t know,” Santorum said sarcastically. “We’ve been through ‘we don’t know’ for two and a half year! “He just asked China to interfere,” CNN host Anderson Cooper pointed out. “The president believes,” Santorum stuttered, “you may not believe it — but the president believes there is — there is corruption going on at the very highest levels with certain members of the Democratic Party and in the prior administration.

They've grown up here, gone to high school here, and graduated from college and found jobs here. But they're undocumented, and with the election of Donald Trump, their future hangs in the balance.

For example, when I debated in high school, my coach noticed that when I wanted to be vehement, I would bring my right hand to my chest, palm down, and thrust it out in a manner that veered a little too close a Nazi salute.
