Santorum: Christie a liberal, Paul ‘dangerous’

Published



Former Sen. Rick Santorum, hoping to seize a victory in the Iowa caucuses next week, attacked Rep. Ron Paul as a “truly dangerous” choice for president, and said that both Mitt Romney and his surrogate, Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., “establishment Republicans,” rather than true conservatives.

“No, they don’t know,” Santorum said today on the Jack Riccardi radio show when asked if Iowa voters “know” that Christie is a “big liberal Republican,” as the guest host phrased it. “I like Chris, I’ve known Chris for years — he’s a fun guy and he’s an interesting guy, but he’s certainly not a conservative Republican,” he added.
