Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum became the latest Republican presidential candidate to misspeak about Africa Tuesday.
During CNN’s debate on foreign policy, Santorum said that Africa was a country, instead of a continent.
Former Bush Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, who now serves as a scholar for the American Enterprise Institute, asked the candidates how their policies would promote growth in poor countries.
“Well, as the author of The Global Fund bill and the Millennium Challenge in the United States Senate, and as someone who worked with the president on [the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief] PEPFAR to deal with the issue of AIDS in Africa, I believe it’s absolutely essential,” Santorum replied.
“Africa was a country on the brink of complete meltdown and chaos.”
OZHOUSE EDITOR – All of the Americans I have met and spoken with know Africa is a continent. Americans are NOT stupid. The GOP has a talent pool of morons hidden away somewhere…
How do you get through high school and college without learning some basic geography? Didn’t the twit think to check out an atlas at some point? The scarier question is how do you get so close to the presidency of the most powerful nation on earth with such a low IQ?
The only sane person in the GOP is Ron Paul.
