Santorum Again Relates Food Stamps to Minorities
By Lindsey Boerma | National Journal – 6 hrs ago
TROY, Mich. -- Rick Santorum on Saturday resuscitated one of his more controversial remarks from the past few months of campaigning for president, connecting food stamps with “minority communities.”
Speaking to a large crowd at the conservative Americans for Prosperity Presidential forum here, Santorum said he planned to “talk to minority communities, not about giving them food stamps and government dependency, but about creating jobs so that they can participate in the rise of this country.”
In January, Santorum made a similar remark, but instead of “minorities,” he used the phrase “black people.” He later said he was misheard.
Santorum also reiterated his belief that one of President Obama’s driving motives for encouraging Americans to attend college is to “remake you into his image.”
