Rick Santorum has built a reputation for saying ignorant things. However, he may have reached a new low with his lack of common sense.
While speaking with Bill O’Reilly about Nelson Mandela, Santorum compared Obamacare to Aparthied.
“Mandela was fighting against some great injustice, and I would make the argument that we have a great injustice going on right now in this country with an ever-increasing size of government that is taking over and controlling people’s lives — and Obamacare is front and center in that,” Santorum said.
Santorum also claimed that Mandela’s fight to end Aparthied was wrong by saying, “What he was advocating for wasn’t necessarily the right answer.”
Santorum represents a culture that thrives on separatism and hate. It’s obviously a flawed idea to compare a healthcare law to a brutal draconian system.
Furthermore, Santorum belief that Mandela’s fight to put an end to that system is another example of his idiotic way of thinking.
But the most unfortunate part is that someone who thrives off of ignorance has such a prominent platform.
