Santorum Spokeswoman Attacks Obama’s “Radical Islamic Policies”

HeadlineFeb 21, 2012

In other campaign news, a spokeswoman for Rick Santorum said in a TV interview on Monday that Santorum was referring to President Obama’s “radical Islamic policies” when he said the President’s agenda was driven by “phony theology.” Alice Stewart made the comment in an interview on MSNBC.

Alice Stewart: “He wasn’t questioning the President’s character. He wasn’t questioning the President’s religion. As he said, as he has clarified the statement, he was talking about radical environmentalists. He was talking about—there is a type of theological secularism when it comes to the global warmists in this country. That’s what he was referring to. He was referring to the President’s policies, in terms of the radical Islamic policies the President has, specifically in terms of the energy exploration.”

After the interview aired on MSNBC, Stewart called the network to say she had made a mistake and said “radical Islamic policies” instead of Obama’s “radical environmental policies.”
