The Overweening Gall of Mitt Romney
Remember when Mitt Romney wrote an op-ed piece for the New York Times, advocating for the government to let Detroit go bankrupt?
Well, now Romney actually wants a lot of the credit for the auto industry’s recovery.
Despite his 2008 call to “let Detroit go bankrupt,” presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said Monday that he would “take a lot of credit” for his impact on the U.S. automobile industry’s comeback.
During an interview with WEWS-TV in Cleveland following a campaign stop, Romney said his views helped save the industry.
“I pushed the idea of a managed bankruptcy,” Romney said. “And finally, when that was done, and help was given, the companies got back on their feet. So I’ll take a lot of credit for the fact that this industry’s come back.”
For Romney to make a claim like this is audacious, bold, and incredibly dishonest. Every day is Opposite Day in Republican lala land.
The worse part is the mute media each time Mittens vomits out one of his lies or flip flops. Did anyone from WEWS make note of the seemingly impossible gymnastics one would need to perform to get from what he wrote in 2008 and what he said in 2012?
Nope.
