Rick Santorum Gets CNN Job

The US media is a serious threat to the country.

One of America's Leading Anti-LGBT, Anti-Immigrant Religious Conservatives
Far right wing religious conservative Rick Santorum, the man whose re-election loss was the largest defeat for a sitting senator in a quarter-century, and the man who produced just three failed films as head of a Christian film studio, has just been hired by CNN as a contributor.

The network's senior media correspondent tweeted the news:


Apparently, CNN has been auditioning the twice-failed GOP presidential candidate the past few weeks:

He had the Penn Hills School District (suburb of Pittsburgh) pay for cyber-educating his children while serving (hah!) as senator from PA - yet living in a 2 million dollar home outside of DC. His "house" in Penn Hills hadn't been lived in in years, and CERTAINLY not by him or his immediate family. And the Penn Hills School District is struggling to stay solvent after struggling with population decline and lessened state funding support.
Hypocritical fraud/thief!!!!!!
