Chris Wallace Challenges Romney Math
Here is Fox “News’” Chris Wallace going a little rogue in an interview this morning with Romney adviser Ed Gillespie about the math behind Romney’s tax cut plan:
Ed Gillespie, adviser to the Romney campaign, defended the campaign’s assertion that six independent studies have validated the plausibility of Mitt Romney’s tax plan, a talking point used by both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan to defend the plan against attacks that the math doesn’t ad up. “Six different studies have said this is entirely doable,” Gillespie said on “Fox News Sunday.”
But host Chris Wallace took issue with the assertion, calling some of the studies “questionable.”
“These are very credible sources,” Gillespie pushed back.
“One of these is from a guy — is a blog from a guy who was a top adviser to George W. Bush,” Wallace countered. “These are hardly non-partisan studies.”
