'Insane!' CNN Legal Analysts Dismantle Santorum's Bonkers New Trump Defense

Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) attempted a defense of President Donald Trump that’s been used by Republicans before ― but it didn’t go so well on CNN on Tuesday night.

One of his fellow panelists even called it “insane.”

Santorum suggested that what Trump says isn’t nearly as important as what his administration does.

“This administration does many things, he doesn’t talk about any of them... he doesn’t talk about policy,” Santorum said.

“This argument is insane,” legal analyst Carrie Cordero fired back. “You cannot argue that the president of the United States’ words do not matter, or that he’s just sort of spouting off or he has his own views.”

“I didn’t say they don’t matter,” Santorum said. “But actions matter too.”

Cordero replied:
