Santorum: There's nothing 'particularly problematic' about tapes of Trump discussing paying off

ex-Playboy model

David Edwards JUL 2018 AT 14:32 ET

Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Sunday argued that leaked tapes of President Donald Trump were not “problematic” even though he can be heard talking about paying hush money to an alleged mistress.

During a panel discussion on CNN, host Jake Tapper explained that a short audio tape had been leaked of Trump discussing paying off former Playboy model Karen McDougal. Trump has claimed that the tape exonerates him because he suggests in the audio that it would not be possible to buy McDougal’s silence.

Michael Avenatti, the attorney for alleged Trump mistress Stormy Daniels, also said on Sunday that he was aware of additional tapes of discussions between the president and his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen.

“Are you concerned at all about what might be in these tapes?” Tapper asked Santorum on Sunday.

“Hearing the reports of that particular conversation, I don’t think there’s anything particularly problematic in that conversation,” Santorum insisted. “But it raises the other question, how much did he record and when did he record it and what else is there?”

Is he the guy who got less that 0.05% of the vote, or is he the guy who dropped out before the convention?

Is he the one who drove cross-country with his wife and kids strapped to the luggage rack, or the one who was humping his mistress on his dying wife's hospital bed?

Or is he that fellow who talks out of all four sides of his mouth?

The Trump-loving evangelicals are no different than the Trump-lovers who aren't evangelicals. It's all about racism/xenophobia, sexism, greed, etc.

Did Tapper bother to call Santorum out for his hypocrisy?

I keep expecting to hear that he's finally toiling away in some semi-obscure job, like chancellor of a small christian college where he mainly has to host teas for donors and tamp down sex crimes with the coaching staff.
