| Description | In an interview with Fox News Channel’s Bill O’Reilly on Wednesday night, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney (R) made light of remarks he made over the weekend — in which he poked fun at a group of poncho-wearing NASCAR fans — by claiming that he has worn a garbage bag as a rainjacket himself.
“Is it worth it for you even to say those things?” host Bill O’Reilly asked Romney in the interview, noting that Democrats have pounced on the remarks as the latest in what they argue is a series of gaffes that reveals Romney is out of touch with most Americans.
“Well you know, it’s hard to imagine all the things they’re going to try and turn into attacks,” Romney responded. “I mean, that’s the first time I’ve heard the one you’ve mentioned. Look, I have worn a garbage bag for rain gear myself. And we’re out there in the rain; the rain was getting us soaked; I didn’t have a rain coat myself. I would have liked one of those. So, you know, it’s just the nature of the process.” |
