I'll say this for Trump, he's given these people the confidence to properly reveal themselves for who they really are (not that there was much doubt in Santorum's case). For that, if nothing else, he's actually performed some public service.
CNN's Rick Santorum: "We birthed a nation from nothing. I mean, there was nothing here. I mean, yes we have Native Americans but candidly there isn't much Native American culture in American culture"pic.twitter.com/EMxOEYDbg7

"There was nothing here" - the words of a white supremacist genocide denier. This guy is the GOP mainstream.

most Indians were nomads so literally wasnt much there in terms of a national infrastructure. If Google earth tried to identify it what exactly would it show?(S.America had giant cities,most of N.America didnt) If they had *A* nation,they may have withstood European encroachment

That’s the crazy thing. Technically, Santorum is right. There isn’t much Native American influence in current American culture because we eradicated and erased them. Generations upon generations traditions paved over, land conquered so we could build shopping malls one day.

I see, feel, hear, touch, taste, and smell Native Culture Daily. Everything around us is influenced by Indigneous Cultures. Just gotta open all your senses and view things with a different lens. Native Culture is everywhere!

Could it be there is no "Native American culture" because our government wiped it out by supplying them with smallpox-infested blankets, stripped tribes of their land, tore their families apart, Americanized their names, took their children and sent them to reeducation schools?

"Indian Residential Schools" were established in the US during the early 19th and mid 20th centuries with a primary objective of "civilizing" or assimilating Native American children and youth into Euro-American culture, while destroying and vilifying Native American culture.pic.twitter.com/0bdxEKWjFP
