Unsurprising news of the day: while Santorum is shooting at a gun range, one of his supporters yells, “Pretend it’s Obama!”
While Santorum tamped down one fire, a supporter in the audience added an off-message wrinkle. As he fired the pistol, a woman in the crowd shouted: “Pretend it’s Obama.”
Santorum was wearing protective ear muffs. He said later that he didn’t hear the remark but denounced it as “absurd.”
“It’s a very terrible and horrible remark and I’m glad I didn’t hear it,” he said.
The Secret Service, which provides security for Santorum, was trying to identify the woman. [statesman.com]
