Santorum: No Question Charleston Massacre Was an ‘Act of Terrorism’

RADDATZ: “You called the shooting a crime of hate. You said it was racially motivated. Should it be considered an act of terrorism?”

SANTORUM: “I don’t think there’s any question when someone comes into a — a church for the reasons of — of racism and hate that they’re trying to — they’re trying to terrorize people. I mean, no, I don’t think there’s any question this is an act of terrorism and it’s — it’s as purely evil as we’ve — as we’ve seen in this country in a long, long time.”

RADDATZ: “So you would like to see those federal charges brought against him?”

SANTORUM: “Well, federal charges, state charges, there’s certainly plenty of charges here. Whether — whether they’re federal or state charges really doesn’t matter. This — this — this young man is going to get justice served on him.”
