Santorum Slams
DCCC for Calling War Veteran Lee Zeldin a Coward
Patriot Voices PAC
Endorses Zeldin for Congress in NY-1
Verona, PA - Former U.S. Senator, former Republican presidential
candidate, chairman of Patriot Voices and author of Blue Collar
Conservatives Rick Santorum issued the following statement about the
Democratic Campaign Congressional Committee's (DCCC) attack on Lee
Zeldin in his run for Congress in New York's first Congressional
district.
"This is an unbelievably egregious attack on an American hero by the
DCCC. To call this brave veteran a 'coward' despite his
courageous service in Iraq as a paratrooper is stooping to a new low
even for the DCCC. Despite their efforts to walk these comments back,
the DCCC has shown their complete and utter disregard for those who
serve this country," Santorum said.
"Patriot Voices PAC is pleased to stand with Lee Zeldin. Not only
is he a great American hero, but Lee is the right kind of candidate
right now - committed to improving economic opportunities for
hardworking Americans, steadfast in wanting to stop ObamaCare, and an
advocate for the unborn. Lee's background in the military and his
service in Iraq strengthens his appreciation for the needs and
priorities of our Armed Forces. That understanding will serve him
and his constituents well in Congress," Santorum continued.
"As a state senator, Lee fought to roll back burdensome taxes that were
crippling small businesses. He also is committed to fighting for
our veterans who have given so much to our nation. I am confident
that in Congress Lee Zeldin will fight to restore the American dream
for all families, and Patriot Voices PAC is pleased to support him,"
Santorum concluded.
