Former Republican senator and TV analyst Rick Santorum addressed his departure from CNN on "Hannity" Monday, after the left-leaning network fired him over past comments about Native American culture. "You get savaged for telling the truth," Santorum said in his first public interview since he ousted from the network. "Yes, there were Native Americans, but there isn’t much Native American culture in American culture." Santorum later clarified on CNN's "Cuomo Prime Time" that he "misspoke" and argued that he was speaking in the context of the founding of the United States government. Santorum said CNN President Jeff Zucker has not contacted him personally about his departure.
