Things got a little frothy at the kiddie table Republican debate last night. Rand Paul took his toys and went home (to Twitter), Carly Fiorina tried to take a few swings at Hillary Clinton but was too far away to make any contact and Rick Santorum actually told people to Google him. Yes, that really did happen!
He said:
Go and Google Rick Santorum and Hillary Clinton you’ll see a five-minute debate. I’ll let you decide who won the debate. I’ll tell you who won, I know I’m out of time, I’m going to take some of Rand Paul’s time here for a second.
For those unfamiliar with what any of this means (because perhaps you were in a coma or living on a deserted island) you can check out Urban Dictionary’s definition of the word “Santorum” here. (Thanks, Dan Savage!)
Fortunately, people on Twitter reminded him, and everyone, the error in his suggestion.
"Just go Google Rick Santorum," — @RickSantorum in the worst-thought-out debate statement ever.

Santorum: 'Google "Rick Santorum"' I'm not falling for that one again, Rick. #GOPDebate

Rick Santorum is brave asking people to Google him

People who should never say "Google me" -Rick Santorum, and well, me. 😂

Rick Santorum asked people to Google him. Uh, Rick? Possibly not the best idea.

A reminder: don't let your kids google Rick Santorum.

"Go Google 'Rick Santorum' and…" I don't care how that sentence ends. Why the hell would Santorum say that? #GOPDebate CC: @fakedansavage

.@RickSantorum just invited people to Google him. Not sure that's a good idea. #GOPDebate

Watch Rick Santorum tell everyone to Google him:
BTW, don’t Google him. No really, just don’t do it.
