If anything has shown that this cycles Republican Presidential Candidate is totally, completely Unfit to Lead this country - this is it.
MITT ROMNEY: “I’m outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi. It’s disgraceful that the Obama administration’s first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.”
To inject yourself politically into this ongoing, unfolding life and death crisis - and to
Get The Facts Wrong - is Unforgivable. It's In-excusable.
And like a lot of times that Republicans get things wrong, it's not because he doensn't know better - it's clearly because He Doesn't Care what the truth is.
His claim that the Obama Administration's Embassy "Failed to Condemn an Attack" that Hadn't Even Happened Yet was bad enough. It could have been considered simply a mistake or a blunder, but now it's clear that It Was Deliberate as he double-downed and continued to repeat that claim once the fog of information during a crisis had lifted.
Just as he's Lied about the Affordable Care Act Medicare Savings which strengthen the program not weaken it, he's Lied about the Welfare Waivers which improved work requirements not remove them, he's Lied the President's "Apology Tour" which didn't happen, he's Lied about releasing "Two Full Years" of his own taxes and then didn't, he's Lied about the Five Studies that show his tax plan works when they don't, and after his advisers called "Foreign Policy a Distration" - he's still Lying.
A Craven Sociopathic Serial Liar does not deserve the White House.
Remember when Romney was caught lying about Lobbyists running his Campaign?
Contrast that to his performance from Yesterday Morning.
– We have seen a foreign policy of weakness and decline in American influence and respect. Yesterday, we saw the consequences of this perceived weakness. [...]
– We have seen a foreign policy of weakness, indecision, and a decline in American influence and respect – and yesterday we saw the consequences.
ROMNEY: The embassy in Cairo put out a statement after their grounds had been breached, protestors were inside the grounds, they reiterated that statement after the breach…Apologizing for America’s values is never the right course.
REPORTER: Governor Romney do you think, though, coming so soon after the events really had unfolded overnight was appropriate, to be weighing on this as this crisis is unfolding in realtime?
ROMNEY: The White House also issued a statement saying it tried to distance itself from those comments and said they were not reflecting of their views. I had the exact same reaction. These views were inappropriate. [...]
REPORTER: What did the White House do wrong, then, Governor Romney if they put out a statement saying they disagreed with it? [...]
ROMNEY: They clearly sent mixed messages to the world, and the statement that came from the administration, and the embassy is the administration. The statement that came from the administration was a statement which is akin to apology and I think was a severe miscalculation.
This is just disgusting. It's Craven. This man is Disqualified to Lead this Nation.
He is UNFIT.
