Rick Santorum’s nephew endorses Ron Paul
The Ron Paul campaign announced this afternoon that a nephew of Rick Santorum is supporting Paul’s presidential bid.
John Garver, a student at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, endorsed Paul in a column published today in The Daily Caller, a news web site launched last year by political pundit Tucker Carlson and former GOP adviser Neil Patel.
In the piece, Garver said Santorum’s “interventionist policies, both domestic and foreign, stem from his irrational fear of freedom not working”
The 19-year-old went on to say: “It is because of this inability of status quo politicians to recognize the importance of our individual liberties that I have been drawn to Ron Paul. Unlike my uncle, he does not believe that the American people are incapable of forming decisions. He believes that an individual is more powerful than any group (a notion our founding fathers also believed in).”
