POLITICS
FRANKSVILLE, Wis. — An agitated Rick Santorum on Sunday called Mitt Romney "the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama" even as it appears the former Massachusetts governor is on pace to clinch the party's nomination in June.
Santorum upset over press changing speech
Santorum later lashed out at reporters, using a profane word as he accused them of "distorting" his speech.
Santorum told voters that Romney is "uniquely disqualified" to be the
GOP's presidential pick and urged his supporters to stand with him even as he faces an increasingly improbable pathway to the nomination. "Pick any other Republican in the country. He is the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama," Santorum said at an evening rally near Racine.
Santorum later tried to clarify that he was talking only about Romney's ability to campaign against the national health care law championed by Obama and the Democrats. But the candidate's temper flared when he was pushed by reporters.
