Rick Santorum spoke the truth. CNN couldn't handle it.

Time and again, the left tried and failed to cancel Rick Santorum, but this past weekend the mob thought they had finally succeeded when CNN released him. Santorum’s crime? Saying Western European settlers founded the United States, and that they did so to establish a nation premised on freedom and liberty. I’m sure William Penn would be surprised to learn that he did not found Pennsylvania as a refuge for religious liberty. It would likely shock Thomas Jefferson to learn that he did not write the Declaration of Independence. And James Madison, newsflash, you’re not the Father of the Constitution. Let’s be clear, giving credit where credit is due is not dismissive to others. It didn’t matter that Santorum proactively recognized that Native Americans were here first or that he soundly condemned the atrocities committed against them, comparing those acts to the treatment of African slaves. The cancel culture came for Rick Santorum; CNN capitulated, and the leftist mob celebrated.
