GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum said Sunday morning that his support for former Sen. Arlen Specter's 1996 presidential run "wasn't one of my prouder moments I look back on," and said he now wishes he never offered his support.
Santorum spoke on ABC's "This Week" after a clip was played in which Specter said he wanted to get the abortion debate "out of politics." Santorum could be seen in the background, applauding.
"I was his colleague in the United States Senate, he asked me to stand with him," Santorum said. "That certainly wasn't one of my prouder moments I look back on.
"But, you know, you work together as a team for the state of Pennsylvania, and I felt that… Sen. Specter stood up and supported me when I was running in 1994, and I did likewise.
"I certainly knew that Arlen Specter was going nowhere, I certainly disagreed with a lot of things that he said, and it was something I look back on and wish I hadn't have done."
