CNN this week dropped former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) as a senior political commentator over remarks he made about Native American culture last month.

Santorum, a former two-time presidential candidate, sparked controversy after saying in a political speech on April 23 that “there isn’t much Native American culture in American culture.”
