Rick Santorum made statements antithetical to the controversial 1619 Project.
He was then fired by CNN.
According to The Daily Wire:
CNN has ended its contract with conservative commentator Rick Santorum after the former senator said America’s Founding Fathers “birthed a nation from nothing,” the network confirmed on Saturday.
The two-time GOP presidential candidate angered the network’s viewers with comments he made to Young America’s Foundation on April 23.
When the Pilgrims arrived in 1620, “There was nothing here,” he said. “Yes, we have Native Americans, but candidly there isn’t much Native American culture in American culture.” The Founding Fathers “came here, mostly from Europe, and they set up a country that was based on Judeo-Christian principles,” Santorum said.
…
A “CNN senior executive,” who spoke on condition of anonymity, told HuffPost that “None of the anchors wanted to book him, so he was essentially benched, anyway.”
When I signed on with CNN, I understood I would be providing commentary that is not regularly heard by the typical CNN viewer. I appreciate the opportunity CNN provided me over the past 4 years. I am committed to continuing the fight for our conservative principles and values.

"I wanted to give you a chance to explain yourself, because that's what this show is about."

Santorum appears to be standing up to the mob and refusing to apologize. It is unclear where he will land next.
But, they keep Cuomo and Lemon. Total hypocrites!!
“You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”
Sometimes the truth dies nit agree to the Democratic Liberal narrative….so truth and speaakers of the truth are “canceled”
TOO BAD, CNN DOESNT KNOW WHAT IS TRUE, THEY JUST MAKE UP STUFF AND REPEAT AND REPEAT, SO PEOPLE BEGIN BELIEVING THEIR CRUD AS FACTUAL
“The overriding lesson” of the 1619 project, says The Heritage Foundation’s Arthur Milikh, is that “young people must learn to DESPISE their nation — its Constitution, ideals, economic system, and its Founders. They must resent and reject their past; possess an aggressive, contemptuous, and disobedient attitude toward the present; and strive forcefully to create a triumphant future where the enemies of old are punished, and the innocent finally rule.”
And it is a damn shame how easily these snowflakes accept these anti- and
un-American ideas.
Lies and innuendo sells, the truth doesn’t
CNN the communist news network, MSNBC the fake news channel, both have the biggest bs/propaganda hypocrites working for them, and are the biggest embarrassments, of all. there in the dumps with ratings, because their both fake news, they even admit it.
Anyone in America is free to believe and say anything that they want, except for those that disagree with the Fascist controlled mainstream media. Chris Cuomo can literally pander for his brother and absolutely nothing is said or done. Don Lemon can make moronic comment after moronic comment and nothing is said or done. I have news for all of you folks that are rejoining over your majorities today. Come November there’ll be a reckoning and you’re going to lose both the House and the Senate.
That’s if the GOP starts taking Voter Fraud seriously – like NOW – not 2 wks. prior to Election Day !!!! while kicking RINOS to the curb.
Georgia, Arizona, New Hampshire Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania are doing audits. Arizona Voter Officials are doing everything they can to stop the audit. Some kind of files had been deleted before the votes, etc. had been handed over to the Senate. The Senate hired a SMART Tech guy and he found them. The DOJ has been called in BUT this is a STATE problem. Wonder how far the DEMs will push this?
Have to love how they used to bash FOX as being ‘fake’ news even though it always had left wing hosts who made comments opposite to its then conservative outlook, none were canceled for that viewpoint.
Tell them to pound sand, Rick.
You’re too good for them anyway!
They don’t now, nor ever did, want
any viewpoint contrasting with theirs,
especially if it were facts.
CNN & MSNBC are at the head of the list of freedom of speech believer’s. Their interpretation of “freedom of speech” is believe as we believe or out you go. Mains street media is about on par with CNN & MSNBC
If cuomo feels so badly about what has happened in the founding of the united states maybe it would be best for him to pack up and move back to italy, the nation that birthed Christopher Columbus and from whence came the Roman Empire which conquered and ruled most of the then known world for so many centuries. Cuomo will say anything to score points for money and support from the kooky left perverts.
The left can’t seem to face the reality of life. They need to grow up. Since the beginning of history there has been violence and one peoples conquering another. The native Americans and the blacks are no exception. Blacks were slave owners and dealt in slave trade. They attacked neighboring tribes killing and in some cases even eating them. Cannibalism is still occurring in Africa to this day. Native Americans attacked each other and fought for control of land. They also took slaves. It is the ugly side of life but reality just the same. Look at the left today, the violence and destruction of last summer including the looting. These are the very hypocrites that cuomo speaks for and panders to while attacking those who speak truth.
It took 15 hours for the moderators to release the above comment.
I wonder if the moderators of this article have enough integrity to print the truth.
who in the Hell watches that crap station have not watched that channel in years and don’t plan on watching it anytime again
Who the freak cares I don’t watch CNN or do I ever plan on watching
This is the fella you guys call RINO, right?
Think you mean Scaramuch (sp.?). He is so full of BS his eyes are brown.
