Charles Johnson’s 15 minutes of infamy may not have run their course. It was enough that some critics — Dr. Harry Edwards and civil rights attorney John Burris among them — called for a boycott of the Giants. … I walked away thinking this is a pretty decent fellow,” he said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Need I even describe Santorum's long record as a senator and in other roles attacking LGBTQ communities?

Gianforte lobbied against a Bozeman city anti-discrimination law to protect LGBTQ people. He's given over $1 million to groups that are anti-LGBTQ, including some that peddle conversion "therapy." — Darwin BondGraham (@DarwinBondGraha) December 4, 2018 In all, BondGraham cites 13 politicians (including one-time presidential candidate Michele Bachmann) and one PAC among Johnson’s political benefactors. “All of which is to say that Johnson’s recent campaign contributions to a candidate who joked about attending a lynching, and to a PAC that ran racist ads in Arkansas, is contextualized in a long history of his giving to anti-LGBTQ politicians,” BondGraham wrote.

Former Republican Senator Rick Santorum said President Trump's criticism towards American media comes with a tradition of free press in the US, contrasting other systems in the wake of Saudi Journalist Jamal Khashoggi's disappearance.

Washington (CNN)CNN commentator and former Pennsylvania GOP Sen. Rick Santorum on Sunday suggested students protesting for gun control legislation would be better served by taking CPR classes and preparing for active shooter scenarios. "How about kids instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about maybe taking CPR classes or trying to deal with situations that when there is a violent shooter that you can actually respond to that," Santorum said on CNN's "State of the Union." Santorum dismissed the usefulness of "phony gun laws" and appeared to call on students and others to improve their communities and to prepare to respond to further shootings instead of calling for new laws. "They didn't take action to say, 'How do I, as an individual, deal with this problem? Van Jones, a liberal CNN commentator, interjected and mentioned his own child was about to start high school. I'm proud of these kids. I know you're proud of these kids too." Phony gun laws don't solve these problems." Santorum's comments prompted a statement from Everytown for Gun Safety program manager Erica Lafferty, whose mother was shot and killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. For anyone to suggest that the solution to gun violence is for kids to learn CPR is outrageous, and indicative of the NRA's desire to do or say anything except strengthen America's weak gun laws."
