A top Rick Santorum aide slips up and says that her candidate's comment last week about Obama's "phony theology" referred to his "radical Islamic policies."
Rick Santorum’s spokeswoman Alice Stewart said in a TV interview on Monday that Santorum was referring to President Barack Obama’s “radical Islamic policies” when he said the president’s agenda was driven by “phony theology” — but then quickly called up MSNBC after the segment aired to say she misspoke.
“There is a type of theological secularism when it comes to the global warmness 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,” Stewart said on “Andrea Mitchell Reports.”
Mitchell later said on the air that Stewart phoned the show after interview to say she had slipped up and said “radical Islamic policies” instead of Obama’s “radical environmental policies.”
Stewart quickly corrected herself.
