Santorum Says He’s Also Been Shutdown on the Floor and It’s Not a Big Deal

EXCERPT:

SANTORUM: “As a matter of fact I did, and I would say that on one or two occasions, Rule XIX was brought up when I was up on the floor going after some folks. Rule XIX is there like other rules. For example, you can’t refer to a senator directly by their name, you have to refer to them as the gentle lady or gentleman from a particular state. The whole reason for these rules is to keep the — the — the temperature down to the — you know, and to keep decorum in the —in the Senate to make it a deliberative body, so you don’t have personal attacks and you’re not directly addressing the senator, accusing them or something. So all of this is — is — is in place and it has been for hundreds of years —“ [crosstalk]
CAMEROTA: “But what did you say?”
SANTORUM: “— to keep the temperature down.” 
CAMEROTA: “What did you say that made you have to take a seat?”
SANTORUM: “I’m not necessary going to re — revisit those days, but — you know, look sometimes you get a little heated when you get up on the floor —“
CUOMO: “Right.”
SANTORUM: “— and you are direct — you directly address a senator. You call them out directly on something —“
CUOMO: “Right.”
SANTORUM: “— and — and they say, you know, ‘You can’t do that,’ and then you back off. And in — and in the case of Elizabeth Warren she didn’t back off. I mean, she — she made those comments —“
CUOMO: “Right.”
SANTORUM: “— she said that she agreed with those comments, and she suffered the consequences.”
