| Description | Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus blasted Vice President Biden on Wednesday, saying a comment suggesting GOP economic policies wanted to put “put y’all back in chains” as “shameful.”
Priebus was asked during an interview on NBC’s “Today” to explain what he believed Biden meant by the controversial comments.
“I don’t know what he meant. Obviously, I don’t think it was well-received. I don’t think it’s the type of tone we need in this campaign,” he said. “I think it takes things to a new level, a level of negativity, and I think it was a shameful comment.”
“It goes with what the Obama campaign is doing right now,” Priebus continued. “They promised four years ago they were going to be different, that they were going to be positive, that they were going to bring people together, and look what they’re doing. ‘Putting people in chains?’ Putting out an ad that says Mitt Romney is responsible for the death of a gentleman’s wife after he left a company six years — this is insanity.” |
