Granted: Rick Santorum is a Republican, and only people with dysfunctional minds are allowed in the Republican Party nowadays; he can’t realistically be expected to say something intelligent. By even that dismal standard, however, this is affirmatively stupid.
CNN commentator and former Pennsylvania GOP Sen. Rick Santorum on Sunday suggested students protesting for gun control legislation would be better served by taking CPR classes and preparing for active shooter scenarios.
“How about kids instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about maybe taking CPR classes or trying to deal with situations that when there is a violent shooter that you can actually respond to that,” Santorum said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Right: People who insist upon legislative remedies for problems are layabouts who want other people to solve their problems.
Can you think of a legislator — a person employed by the public to enact legislation — who has said something dumber this year?
