Rick Santorum: Student Activists Should Be Learning CPR Instead Of Protesting Against The NRA [VIDEO]

The Hill reports:

Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) suggested that students should take CPR classes and take steps to prepare for active shooter situations instead of holding protests calling for new gun laws. “How about kids instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about,” Santorum said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“Maybe taking CPR classes or try to deal with situations that, where there is a violent shooter that you can actually respond to that.” Santorum said students took action to “ask someone to pass a law.”

“They didn’t take action to say how do I, as an individual, deal with this problem. ‘How am I going to do something about stopping bullying within my own community. What am I going to do to actually help respond to a shooter,'” he said.

A reminder that we can’t blame everything on Trump. We have had some truly awful presidential candidates in the not so distant past.

Rick Santorum – who thinks we should reactively revive the dead instead of proactively passing data-proven, lifesaving gun laws – had an A+ rating from the @NRA and took hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from their lobbyists as a quid pro quo. https://t.co/8PQo1hDsVG
