Mitt Romney, still smarting from the release of a recording in which he tells backers that a huge chunk of Obama supporters who “don’t pay taxes” will never vote for him, stuck by his comments while at the same time hammering the president for embracing “redistribution” of wealth.
At issue were two recordings which have swiftly turned the presidential campaign away from a foreign policy debate ignited by last week’s murder of four Americans at the U.S. Consulate in Libya — and back to the issue of jobs and the economy.
One video, from a fundraiser earlier this year, showed Romney saying a huge chunk of President Obama’s supporters don’t pay taxes, believe they are “victims” and will back the president “no matter what.” The other tape, an audio recording from a 1998 conference, showed a young Obama saying he believes in “redistribution.”
