Rick Santorum Pouts About Personal Attacks After Bill Kristol Calls Him A 'Demagogue' For Trump
CNN contributor Rick Santorum said he was personally offended on Sunday after conservative writer Bill Kristol attacked President Donald Trump's trade policy.
During a segment about Trump's trade war with China, Kristol noted that the president seems "demoralized" and "depressed."
"His economists have told him privately we're slowing down and we're at some risk of toppling into a recession," Kristol explained. "His political people have told him his numbers are going down not up."
The conservative writer pointed to Trump's racist attacks on black lawmakers as one mistake he has made.
"He's sees bad economic news coming and he sees bad political news coming and he's a demoralized guy," Kristol said.
Santorum disagreed.
"I don't see that at all," Santorum quipped. "He hates being there. You give him too much credit for these things. Look, he just hates being at these meetings. He doesn't like the dynamics that are going on there."
Kristol interrupted: "So he hates being at the White House, he hates being in those meetings, he hates governing! What does he like? He's not a happy warrior."
