Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) told the audience at the Value Voters Summit on Friday that they should also pay attention to the husbands and wives of the people actually on the ballot.
“When you look at someone to determine whether they’d be the right person for public office, look at who they lay down with at night and what they believe in,” Santorum said.
“Who is the person at their side who has.. the closest counselor to that person? If you want to find out if that person who you are voting for is going to stand tall and stand tough, find out where the spouse of that person is,” Santorum said.
Santorum also went after President Obama for not supporting the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in court.
“Ladies and gentleman, we’re at at critical time, morally, economically and from a national security point of view,” Santorum said. “We need a leader with experience who can get the job done, who can motivate, who can lead in a very clear and authentic direction, who has a track record of standing up and fighting battles and winning those battles.”
