Ever wonder what the world would be like if Blabbermouth.net was nearly as well financed as Vice? Yeah, I know, you’d move to another world. Until that happens, the self-proclaimed CNN of washed-up metal brings us news of GOP Presidential hopeful Rick Santorum admitting (under some duress) that he’s thrilled to have the endorsement of Megadeth’s Men’s Warehouse-baiting Dave Mustaine (above). Or he’s powerless to prevent it. One of those things.
During an appearance at the Sharpshooters shooting range in Greenville, South Carolina, Santorum was asked by Cinco Sanders if he embraced or denounced Mustaine’s “endorsement” of him in the 2016 presidential race. He responded, “one of the things I learned a long time ago is that anybody that wants to support my campaign is free to do so. I used to say this a long time ago… When I started getting involved in politics, I would ask people why they were voting for me, and after doing that a few times, I stopped, because I realized you really don’t wanna know. Sometimes people have the most interesting reasons why they support you. So [what you do now] is say thank you very much and you move on.”
Pressed on whether he accepted the MEGADETH mainman’s “endorsement,” Santorum said: “I accept the endorsement.”
