Rick Santorum, who will speak Tuesday night at the Republican National Convention, said in an interview on “CBS This Morning” that Todd Akin is a “good man” who simply made a “ridiculous” comment.

“He’s a good man. He made a ridiculous statement, and he didn’t do a very good job in dealing with the problems that came from that statement.”

Santorum also argued, however, that the GOP is on the right side of the abortion issue.
