Rick Santorum appeared on the “The O’Reilly Factor” on Thursday night and “honored” the legacy of Nelson Mandela by comparing Obamacare to apartheid.
“Nelson Mandela stood up against a great injustice and was willing to pay a huge price for that, and that’s the reason he is mourned today, because of that struggle that he performed,” Santorum said. “And I would make the argument that we have a great injustice going on right now in this country with an ever increasing size of government that is taking over and controlling people’s lives, and Obamacare is front and center in that.”
Santorum equated the institutional and systemic segregation and political and economic marginalization of black South Africans to expanded access to affordable healthcare after host Bill O’Reilly finished calling Mandela a Communist. O’Reilly went on to boast that he had “spent some time in South Africa,” during which he personally told South African social justice icon Desmond Tutu, “I disagree with you and Mr. Mandela, but I respect you.”
