Santorum Spokesperson Refers To Obama’s ‘Radical Islamic Policies’

Rick Santorum spokesperson Alice Stewart slipped up on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports Monday afternoon when talking about President Obama’s environmental policies. Instead, she called them Obama’s “radical Islamic policies.”

Santorum communications director Hogan Gidley told TPM that Stewart “misspoke.” Andrea Mitchell said that Stewart called her to say she slipped up. “She had repeatedly said during that same interview ‘radical environmental policies’ and she said she slipped when she apparently said [it].”
