Romney: I 'Misspoke' About Lack Of Concern For 'Very Poor'

Mitt Romney, in an interview set to air Thursday night said he "misspoke" when he said he isn't concerned about the "very poor," according to an interview transcript provided to the Washington Post.

"It was a misstatement, I misspoke," Romney said. "I've said something that is similar to that but quite acceptable for a long time."

3. What an A**HOLE..Greedy FK

Liar

[GodlessBiker]

9. He is indeed a lying asshole.

[Zalatix]

4. He only spoke what the other Republicans have planned for us.

It's like talking about Fight Club. You never talk about Fight Club.

[SomethingFishy]

5. Misspoke, out of context, never said it, it's the media's fault

blah blah blah... The party of "Personal Responsibility"...

6. NO...No he did not, Romney has a PATERN of saying these things!!

[ibegurpard]

7. I'm really starting to hate this guy

[uponit7771]

15. +1, he seems like the embodiment of evil that happened to middle class America

I don't know how to word it but....he jus seems like the guy who would fire everyone and not know why they hate him

[Cali_Democrat]

8. Dude...WTF?

He's said it over and over again. He said he isn't concerned about the poor. He said those exact words. No going back now. It's too late, bro.

[uponit7771]

14. YES!! In the same interview, the women was tryin to give him a break!!

[Drunken Irishman]

10. Too late...it's out there. Can't walk that shit back.

[NAO]

11. Did he misspeak when he said, "I like to fire people"

cause that goes so well with Trump's "YOU'RE FIRED" and his "don't care about poor people" it seems like it was made for an attack ad.

[Enrique]

12. i didnt mean to say poor people

i meant pooh people.

[dimbear]

13. wait a minute.........n/t

[surrealAmerican]

16. LOL.

... but you already knew Romney didn't care about you.

[nanabugg]

17. If it had not been for the FEMALE interviewer questioning him on this...

it would have gone away just as all the other time Mitt has said virtually the same thing.

[surrealAmerican]

18. "I've said something that is similar to that but quite acceptable for a long time."

Is he trying to seem more like Reagan by acting like he has alzheimer's?
