Former Senate candidate and Tea Party activist Sharron Angle has endorsed Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum. Angle, in a statement, said she has known Santorum, a former Pennsylvania senator, for years. “He is a strong fiscal and social conservative who stands on principles above politics,” she said. “He has never wavered in his support for family values understanding the impact that strong families have on a prosperous economy.” She also praised Santorum’s opposition to amnesty for illegal immigrants, to President Obama’s health care overhaul, to Wall Street bailouts, and to a cap and trade energy policy.
