“he 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back….” That sure looks bad today.Īnd don’t forget Romney’s “binders full of women,” a comment meant to prove how committed he was to hiring women. Obama also mocked Romney for his foreign policy positions, in particular his insistence that Russia was one of our biggest geopolitical threats. The ad earned four Pinocchios from the Washington Post. He lost his health insurance, and his wife fell ill and died - all of this was pinned on Romney. Then Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid regularly accused Romney of not paying his taxes for years - a claim that was proven completely false, but even then Reid smugly shrugged off the truth: “Romney didn’t win, did he?”Ī Democratic strategist mocked Romney’s wife Ann, mother of five boys and grandmother of 16 children, a survivor of breast cancer and multiple sclerosis, for having “never worked a day in her life.” Even Obama condemned the cruel remarks.īut a pro-Obama PAC ran ads accusing Romney of killing a woman! The ad featured a man who lost his job when Romney’s company closed a steel plant. Too perfect, gee-whiz, goofy, earnest - none of these descriptors should have been disqualifying.īut Democrats and the media went even further in trying to ruin Romney in 2012, just to get Barack Obama reelected.įormer Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi called Romney a liar, and slammed him as racist and sexist.ĭNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said Romney’s criticism of Obama’s welfare policies were racist. This is all a lovely way to memorialize Mitt’s political career, but it’s also an admission that everyone was wrong about Romney, and for very bad, very cynical reasons. “Romney was the lone Republican to vote for conviction during Trump’s first impeachment trial, became an important negotiator for deals with Joe Biden’s White House, and stood-in as a moral core for what conservatism could ideally stand for and against.” If you have problems with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution ePaper, please contact us at and we'll be happy to help you.Anna Moneymaker/Getty ImagesSen.
