On Wednesday afternoon, Rick Santorum announced his campaign for Presidency.
But while the conservative candidate Tweeted about how he wants to restore "the American dream for hard-working Americans" and "scrap the corrupt tax code," most people only care about one thing at the moment:
Where does he stand on the Josh Duggar molestation scandal?!?
In 2012, the last time Santorum ran for President (and before Josh Duggar admitted to inappropriately touching five little girls as a teenager), this famous family was among his biggest supporters.
They even filmed a campaign video on Santorum's behalf:
Then, in 2014, Santorum went public with his support for the Duggars, saying Jim Bob and Michelle have "raised their children in a faith-filled home, encouraging kindness and generosity."
So... where does Santorum stand now?
George Stephanopoulos actually brought up the heinous charges against Josh Duggar on Good Morning America today, prompting Santorum to reply:
"I'm sickened by it. I'm just sickened by it. I pray for those girls, in particular. To have gone through that is just hard to think about."
It's safe to say this is a MUCH better answer than the one given by Mike Huckabee, another 2016 Presidential candidate who recently defended Josh Duggar in a long, detailed statement.
Partly explaining away Josh's alleged actions due to his status as a "minor," Huckabee said via Facebook last week:
"We have been blessed to receive God's love and we would do no less than to extend our love and support for our friends… Let others run from them. We will run to them with our support."
Considering it's accepted as fact that Josh Duggar's victims include his own sisters, Huckabee may want to rethink his strategy of courting the incest vote in 2016.
