Rick Santorum says asking Trump to condemn right-wing extremists is unfair because they're his base

[Puigb]

The Republican former Sen. Rick Santorum said that asking President Donald Trump to condemn right-wing extremists during Tuesday night's debate with Joe Bidenwas unfair because it meant alienating Trump's supporters.

Santorum, who in 2012 lost out to Mitt Romney as the Republican nominee for president, appeared on CNN and suggested the debate moderator Chris Wallace set Trump up.

"The Democrats owe a lot to Chris Wallace," Santorum said. "He asked two questions, where he was asking the president to do something he knows the president doesn't like to do."

Asked to elaborate, Santorum said: "Which is say something bad about people who support him. Right?"

"Talking about the white supremacists, number one."

President Donald Trump told the right-wing Proud Boys group to "stand back and stand by" after Chris Wallace asked him to denounce white supremacy.

He's correct, of course, but it's shocking he would outright admit it like that.

Santorum is officially a "deep stater" now after this.
