Brzezinski To Santorum: 'Why Aren't You Working On White Men With Guns?'

[kpete]

"Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski confronted Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Monday by asking why he won't address the growing problem of white men committing gun violence in America if he is so worried about terrorism.

"Why aren't you working on white men with guns?" Brzezinski asked the former Pennsylvania senator after he chastised American Muslims for not speaking out against their religion's radical factions.

"I mean, come on, Rick Santorum. You know better, you're a smart guy," she continued. "You're telling Muslim-Americans they all need to come out and talk about the tiny percentage of their community that has quite frankly wreaked havoc but yet you look at the data of white men with guns wreaking havoc on this country. Why aren't white men all coming froward? Why don't you call on them to do that? I mean, come on."

Santorum said he is "doing a lot of things to solve gun violence," to which Brzezinski replied, "You're ringing bells."

Why won't she ask someone who has a serious likelihood of winning, not someone who is polling at like, less than 2 percent? Trump is on their show about two times a week, Jeb is on often, Christie is on more than Trump. Now she can say she has asked candidates about white men with guns without actually having to ask more than 1 person.

8. Come get your boys....

People of color and Muslims especially are supposed to speak for their group and take responsibility for every single bad actor.

It's time white men be held to the same standard.
