Sentient mayonnaise blob Rick Santorum was back on Risa Sakamoto ArchivesCNN on Wednesday trying to walk back some controversial comments he made about the Parkland shooting survivor teens and still somehow wound up doubling down on his original comments.
Santorum faced backlash after, over the weekend, he said students taking part in the March For Our Lives would be better off "maybe taking CPR classes or trying to deal with situations that when there is a violent shooter that you can actually respond to that."
Speaking to CNN's Chris Cuomo on Wednesday, Santorum said, "I did misspeak in using the term CPR." But that was the extent to which Santorum made any sense.
Here is more from Santorum's line of thinking:
"The positive things that have come out of these mass shootings are organizations and people who have focused on what we can do at our individual schools and communities to prevent these types of things."
Right, okay, Rick, you just described the organizations behind March For Our Lives, so I'm not sure I see where you're going.
"Things like Rachel's Challenge or even Sandy Hook Promise. And other organizations that have said, 'What can we do in our community to promote mentoring, to stop bullying, to be more aware of the problems?'"
Or like March For Our Lives? But go on.
"What I see happen here [the students behind March For Our Lives] is avoiding the issues that are really actually unifying. That's really the most disturbing thing."
You mean the huge rallies across the country in support of bringing an end to gun violence are avoiding the issue of gun violence in schools and not unifying? Rick. Your sweater vest is too tight.
After Cuomo called out Santorum and his ilk for "going after these kids, who are survivors, in the interest of political expediency," Santorum tried to wriggle free from everything he had previously said through several minutes of sparring with Cuomo. But he stood by his point that there were better ways for the students to help prevent school violence.
Like take CPR, I guess?
