Former CNN senior political commentator Rick Santorum has joined Newsmax as their senior political analyst.
“Rick Santorum is one of the most articulate and candid political analysts in media today, and we are honored to have him leading Newsmax’s team of commentators,” Newsmax CEO Chris Ruddy said.
Santorum had two terms as a Republican Senator from Pennsylvania prior to entering the political media scene as an analyst and contributor.
“In just a short time, Newsmax has exponentially grown its viewership, establishing itself as a leading, unfiltered news source for hard-working Americans who are looking for reporting and commentary that speaks to their traditional American values,” Santorum said.
“I am looking forward to bringing my common-sense, blue-collar conservative voice to Newsmax and their viewers as we turn toward the critical 2022 midterm elections and beyond.”
The hiring comes six months after offensive comments regarding Native Americans during a Young America’s Foundation event with CNN deciding to part ways with Santorum.
