Former Republican Pennsylvania Senator and presidential candidate Rick Santorum has said that Ohio’s vote to back abortion rights and marijuana legalisation shows that “pure democracies are not the way to run a country”.

The rightwing commentator, who was booted from CNN after making disparaging comments about Native Americans, appeared on the far-right network Newsmax on Tuesday night to take part in its election coverage.

...appeared on the far-right network Newsmax on Tuesday night...

Nobody of any consequence appears on Newsmax. It's only slightly better than Infowars. Republicans and Conservatives pushing for autocracy has been their whole schtick since the Trump Admin.

I put Newsmax, OAN, Fox, and InfoWars all in the same box of useless and crazy. They may not all be on the same level but they all belong there.

This guy used to be a US senator though. Gross name though, someone should tell him.

For those who might not get the joke, someone gave Rick Santorum's surname an unpleasant alternate definition in order to shame him for opposing gay rights.

Gross name, even grosser human being
