During last night’s post-presidential debate show on CNN, failed 2012 presidential candidate and professional homophobe Rick Santorum defended Donald Trump‘s racism and falsely claimed that “nobody called Donald Trump a racist before he was president of the United States–other than the Central Park thing.”
Rick Santorum seriously tried to claim "nobody called Donald Trump a racist before he was president of the United States. No one."
As you can imagine, it caused a bit of a stir on the CNN set. pic.twitter.com/m8ybV5lKNt

Of course, this is absolutely, positively 100% not true. People have been pointing out Trump’s blatantly racist behavior for nearly half a century now.
The first documented time was in 1973 when the U.S. Department of Justice sued the Trump Management Corporation for violating the Fair Housing Act by discriminating against Black tenants.
Since then, there have been countless other instances of Trump being accused of racism over the past five decades as documented in this exhaustive article published by Vox in 2016.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Twitter responded to Santorum’s false statement accordingly…

Rick Santorum just called the Central Park Five a “thing” that isn’t racist.

Rick Santorum said “Nobody called Donald Trump a racist before he was president…other than the Central Park thing.”
Actually, the Nixon administration sued Donald Trump for racial discrimination way back in 1973. pic.twitter.com/EgPKhVKmn6

Rick Santorum on CNN: "No one called Donald Trump a racist before he was president . . . except for the Central Park Five thing"
Yes, just a minor "thing" involving five innocent people who Trump said deserved the death penalty
And let's not forget that whole birther thing

Rick Santorum: Nobody said that Trump was racist before he was President.
Well, Rick, you might want to check some facts from 1975, 1989, and 2011.
Those were before he was President, in case you lost your calendar.#BidenWonTheDebate pic.twitter.com/WwJ3OiV8CW

.@RickSantorum “no one called Trump a racist before he became POTUS” Senator, I called him racist way before he became a candidate……and many others…..and when you support White supremacists that makes you a racist, period….

Rick Santorum on @CNN just said, "No one ever accused Donald Trump of being a racist before he ran for president." I mean, I guess if you leave out birtherism, redlining, the Central Park 5, and all the other racist things Trump has done and said, he's right.

“Nobody called Donald Trump a racist before he was President.” – Rick Santorum, who CNN still pays to say words for some reason.

WHY does CNN continue tot have that prick on their network?
barryaksarben
Yeah why is this ignorant pos even on tv anymore. and as to his insane comment you might also say Rick was never called a homophobe until now and NO ONE WOULD BELIEVE THAT EITHER
AxelDC
I’ll bet Santorum doesn’t think of himself as a homophobic bigot.

This POS has not been in any political discourse since he brought his dead baby home to “bond” with his family back in the day….he is NOT relavant. He is a creep.
LegionKeign
He brought it home so he and his family could feed on it.
woodroad34
He’s such a piece of santorum.

Jeff Zucker, of CNN loves Trump.
Remember, he is the one who hired Corey Lewendowski WHILE he was still getting paid by the Trump campaign. It’s why he pays Santorum to be on their staff.
There needs to be an exposure of how the media helped Trump and pushed out lies purposely and a realignment when this is done.
whateverokok
Yeah, yeah. Ok. Whatever! More of the same BS! But then that broken record never gets fixed or changed around here.
