CNN dropped Rick Santorum as a political commentator following an outcry over remarks about Native American culture by the former U.S. senator from Pennsylvania.
Alison Rudnick, a spokeswoman for CNN, said Saturday the network had “parted ways” with Santorum, without providing additional details.
Santorum, a Republican presidential candidate in 2016, came under fire after a speech in April before the Young America’s Foundation, a conservative organization. He said immigrants to the U.S. created a Judeo-Christian culture from “a blank slate.”
