DES MOINES — Former Pennsylvania U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum argued Monday that President Barack Obama is engaging in class warfare, a day after the president appeared on national television and advocated for the “middle class.”

“If there’s anything this president has done, (he has) divided us,” Santorum told about 160 employees at the Principal Financial Group, a global investment manager and provider of 401(k) plans, mutual funds, retirement plans and insurance.
