MSNBC Grills Santorum: ‘List One Accomplishment’ Rubio Achieved

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

BRZEZINSKI: “Wait a minute. This is — disturbing.”
SCARBOROUGH: “The republicans have been in the majority for the past two years. Can you name one thing he’s passed in the last two years?”
SANTORUM: “Joe, look, republicans have been majority for one year and one month which as you know he was running for president primarily. The first four years he was in the minority and nothing got done. And by the way what happened this year under the republican he is got done?”
BRZEZINSKI: “OK. So, what did he do in Florida?”
SCARBOROUGH: “I can list things that happen but I’m not defending the congress, I’m not being difficult, just asking you to name one accomplishment that Marco Rubio —“
SANTORUM: “The problem is —“
SCARBOROUGH: “List one accomplishment that Marco achieved. Maybe a bill he wrote. Maybe a moment in the committee.”
BRZEZINSKI: “Jeb Bush ran Florida, Donald Trump built a company. Marco Rubio — finish the sentence.”
SANTORUM: “Marco Rubio was number one in the Florida house which is not something that is a minor deal. He was elected by his colleagues to be speaker of the house. Number two he spent four years in the United States  Senate being frustrated nothing got done then you can’t point to him and say ‘nothing got done and therefore he has no accomplishments.’”
BRZEZINSKI: “Well maybe he was for something.”
SANTORUM: “We have a president that won’t work with people and he got no cooperation at all. This is a bogus argument you have a completely feckless congress and you can’t say he was there and therefore it’s not his fault.”
SCARBOROUGH: “It’s not a bogus argument. Don’t attack me, we’ve been friends for a long time.”
SANTORUM: “We have. And I’m not attacking you.”
SCARBOROUGH: “Let me ask the question one more time. List one accomplishment that Marco Rubio has achieved in four years in the United states  Senate. It doesn’t even have to be a passed bill.”
SANTORUM: “I know he included something that went after the insurance companies in the most recent omnibus. He fought for that to stop bailing out insurance companies, that’s one thing I’m familiar that I just saw recently. Again, he was on the campaign trail and accomplished that. The bottom line is there isn’t a lot of accomplishments, Joe, and I don’t think it’s a fair question to say over the last four years nothing has happened and then blame one person because he didn’t get accomplishments done. Neither did President Obama.”
SCARBOROUGH: “I actually — you know, what rick, through your ups and downs in the United States  Senate I can list several accomplishments that you have. I want to ask you what happened — what in your campaign. We had you on early. You had a great message about blue-collar voters, reaching out to blue-collar voters —“
