Rick Santorum Says He Would Welcome Caitlyn Jenner's Endorsement

Republican presidential candidate said in a recent interview that he would accept Caitlyn Jenner’s endorsement. 

The interview with Santorum came after Caitlyn Jenner, formerly Bruce Jenner, told Diane Sawyer that she was a Republican. 

Santorum said, “If Caitlyn Jenner wanted to endorse me, would I accept the endorsement? The answer is if that’s the way she feels about my candidacy, sure.” 

“Look, there are all sorts of people in this country of all different positions in life,” he continued. 

The GOP candidate said that he would accept anyone’s vote, regardless of the reasoning behind it, The Blaze reports.  

Interviewer Erin Burnett pressed Santorum further, asking the politician if he accepted Jenner, not just her vote. 

“My, my job as a human being is to treat everybody with dignity, respect, period. Stop. Full stop. No qualification to that,” Santorum said.
