Former presidential candidate Rick Santorum says, "You can kill things and still like them."
The Pennsylvania Republican made the suggestion in defining his stance on the idea of pulling funding from PBS during an appearance on CNN on Thursday night.
"I've voted to kill Big Bird in the past," he said when asked about
his position on the issue. "So, I have a record there that I have to
disclose. That doesn't mean I don’t like Big Bird. I mean, you can kill
things and still like them, maybe to eat them, I don’t know."
Santorum, who fell short in his presidential primary bid against
Republican nominee Mitt Romney earlier this year, appeared to recognize
that his choice of words could ruffle some feathers. After asking, "Can
we go back on that one?" he quipped, "That's a bad youtube moment right
there."
