“You take this grenade and you pull the pin, you’ve got a live piece of ammo in your hands,” former Republican senator Rick Santorum, a two-time GOP presidential candidate explained in audio of his remarks obtained by the left-leaning watchdog group the Center for Media and Democracy, Insider‘s Grace Panetta and Brent D. Griffiths report.
- “34 states — if every Republican legislator votes for this, we have a constitutional convention,” Santorum said.
“Interviews with a dozen people involved in the constitutional convention movement, along with documents and audio recordings reviewed by Insider, reveal a sprawling, well-funded — at least partly by cryptocurrency — and impassioned campaign taking root across multiple states.”
