CNN fired him after he gave a lecture to the Young America’s Foundation and said, “We birthed a nation from nothing. I mean, there was nothing here. I mean, yes, we have Native Americans but candidly there isn’t much Native American culture in American culture.” These remarks do not seem to have been a problem for the pro-Trump Newsmax cable network. They just hired him.

Former GOP Sen. Rick Santorum joined Newsmax as a senior political analyst on Tuesday, five months after being ousted from CNN. He will make his debut during the conservative network’s election coverage Tuesday night at 7 p.m. ET.
“I am excited to join the growing team at Newsmax,” Santorum said in a statement. “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.”
