Rick Santorum in CNN "State of the Union" interviews during 2018


On Civil Rights: I don't like dividing America along racial or class lines

SEN. RICK SANTORUM (R-PA): Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party have been, for decades, defending divisive politics. The Democratic Party has been divided along race and class.

(VIDEO CLIP from the Netroots convention in New Orleans): SEN. KAMALA HARRIS (D-CA): I'm aware that some people would say that is playing "identity politics." But I have a problem with that phrase, "identity politics." Its purpose is to minimize and marginalize issues that impact all of us.

SANTORUM: The Democratic Party has been focused on different voter groups, whether it's blacks or Hispanics or whether--you name it, and they have tried to divide this country along those lines, along class, it's been a warfare game for them. Trump is taking them at their own game. I didn't like it on either side. I can understand why they are upset. I don't like it either.
