Rick Santorum on Imprisoning Non-Violent Drug Offenders: "The federal government doesn't do that."

Submitted by smorgan on

From the same presidential candidate who brought you, "I don't know my medical marijuana laws very well," comes yet another mind-bending morsel of jaw-dropping ignorance.

I'm still not sure what happened here. I think he got cornered and confused and just choked for a second. He may not have even understood the question, and that's okay. We're not going anywhere. Anytime Rick Santorum wishes to clarify or expand upon this, I'm sure everyone will be quite excited to hear whatever else he has to say. 

*Thanks to our friends at Students for Sensible Drug Policy for hitting the ground in New Hampshire and making this happen.
