A charity established by Rick Santorum to help low-income people in his home state of Pennsylvania spent most of its money on fund raising, consulting, administration, and office rent paid to one of the Republican White House hopeful’s political allies, according to The Washington Post.

Ken Berger of watchdog group Charity Navigator called that ratio of mission-to-operational spending “exceptionally poor.”
