Rick Santorum says Biden played the ‘race card’
Top Mitt Romney surrogate Rick Santorum said Sunday that Vice President Biden was “playing the race card” when he said last week that Republicans want to deregulate Wall Street and put people “back in chains.”
Biden’s comment, made in front of a southern Virginia audience that included many African-Americans, has drawn fire from Republicans who say it was racially insensitive.
Santorum went a step further, saying Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” that the comment amounted to race baiting.
