Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Tuesday that presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney had "led the charge" yesterday against Senate candidate Rep. Todd Akin's (R-Mo.) controversial rape remarks."I think that it was pretty clear that Mitt Romney believes that everything that Todd Akin said was unbelievably at odds with rational thinking. He led the charge. Everyone followed suit. We all followed Mitt Romney's lead yesterday," said on MSNBC's "Jansing and Co."Priebus was defending Romney's reaction to Akin, after being repeatedly pressed on why the presidential contender had not asked for Akin to step aside."I think you saw complete and total unity on the Republican side of the aisle yesterday as to Todd Akin. That charge was led by Mitt Romney," Priebus said.
if you lead the charge you are first in line and your voice is first on record to call for some type of reaction. as with everytime Preibus, takes the mike it is a lie fest.
"Gov. Romney and Congressman [Paul] Ryan [(R-Wis.)] disagree with Mr. Akin's statement, and a Romney-Ryan administration would not oppose abortion in instances of rape," said Romney campaign spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg in a statement.
which is not a personal denial especially Ryan but a covering their butts although it's too late for "sign on the dotted line Ryan".
Monday on CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront," Priebus called on the Missouri Senate candidate to drop out of the race and urged him to skip the GOP convention in Tampa next week.
"I would prefer that Todd Akin do the right thing for our party and our candidates, and I would prefer him not come," Priebus said on CNN.
in spewing company policy he gets dumped in the abyss, does he feel any loyalty to those who just kicked him to the curb? or will he republican style, get even? "5pm central, oh my watch stopped, sorry".
