Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum battled Occupy Tacoma hecklers for just about his entire speech at a campaign stop in Tacoma, Washington tonight. He said, “get a job,” among other things to a small group that yelled and chanted for nearly 30 minutes. Two of the protestors were dragged away and arrested by police. Police used a tazer on at least one protestor. Santorum supporters physically tussled with the protestors and tensions remained high throughout the event.

Santorum touched on many other topics while visiting a state that just legalized gay marriage earlier in the morning. Santorum rallied gay marriage opponents only hours after Washington State Governor Christina Gregoire signed the state’s gay marriage bill nearby in the capitol, Olympia.
