Rick Santorum Compares Kim Davis To Columbine Victim Who Refused To Rebuke God

Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum compared, Kim Davis, the Kentucky clerk who has refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, to a young woman murdered in Columbine 16 years ago.

During Wednesday's GOP debate, Santorum said Davis is like Rachel Scott, who was reportedly mocked for her Christian faith and was shot after refusing to rebuke God.

But Davis isn't a teenager being asked to deny her faith. She's an elected official in a government position who is declining to uphold the laws of the country in which she was elected.
