Rick Santorum, former senator from Pennsylvania, sparked controversy in an April 23 speech before the Young America’s Foundation, a conservative youth organization. Santorum said immigrants created a nation based on the Judeo-Christian ethic from a blank slate.
“We birthed a nation from nothing,” he said. “Yes, there were Native Americans, but there isn’t much Native American culture in American culture.” Santorum later said on Chris Cuomo’s CNN show that he “misspoke.” Or another words I said what I really believe and that was a mistake.
More than his lack of regard for native American way of life is the White Anglo-Saxon belief that they are superior to all other people in the world. It is obvious to me a core belief of conservative White Americans. Those people invading the Capitol on January 6 are a part of that group.
As minority peoples are ever larger part of the United States population, White people fear their may be a day in the future when they will be the minority.
California may be an indicator of what all of America in the 21st century will look like. No race or ethnic group constitutes a majority of California’s population: 39% of state residents are Latino, 36% are white, 15% are Asian or Pacific Islander, 6% are African American, fewer than 1% are Native American or Alaska Natives, and 3% are multiracial or other, according to the 2019 American Community Survey.
Rick Santorum Tweet May 22, 2021 “When I signed on with CNN, I understood I would be providing commentary that is not regularly heard by the typical CNN viewer. I appreciate the opportunity CNN provided me over the past 4 years. I am committed to continuing the fight for our conservative principles and values.”
Is this what the conservative GOP wants to stand for?
