Romney spoke to reporters Monday evening in a hastily called news conference after the emergence of a video in which the GOP presidential nominee told donors that almost half of American voters "believe that they are victims."
The Republican nominee did not disavow the comments but said they were made during a question-and-answer session. He said it was indicative of his campaign's effort to "focus on the people in the middle."
The website of the magazine Mother Jones posted a video of Romney's comments from a private fundraiser.
Remember the 'stretch-out'?
In bland tones he characterizes 1/2 the country as irresponsible and uncaring about their lives. He is totally out of touch with reality.
What outrages me are the 3000 taxpayers who make over $2 million a year and paid NO income tax.
Willard should be concerned about them instead of promoting more of the same old, same old - cut taxes for the rich to produce jobs. Have you seen those jobs anywhere after decades of tax cutting?
Oh, Mitt sent those overseas.
