Romney adviser
Bay Buchanan on Tuesday declared that the release of leaked campaign videos
showing the Republican presidential nominee writing off 47 percent of the
country as "dependant" and "entitled" was just a "bump
in the road."
In an edited
video published by Mother Jones
on Monday, Mitt Romney had told wealthy donors that almost half of the country
"pay no income tax" and were going to vote for President Barack
Obama.
"My job is
is not to worry about those people," Romney asserted. "I’ll never
convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their
lives."
On Tuesday,
Buchanan had the unenviable task of trying to do damage control while being
grilled by CNN host Soledad O'Brien.
"As a
candidate, he can't worry about those he can't get," Buchanan explained,
adding that the media should be focusing on "one out of every six
Americans are in poverty today and that 47 million are taking food stamps in
order to take care of themselves and their families."
"Listen, I
fully understand the strategy is to turn to the 'real problem' and talk about
something else, but I'm going to keep you on this," O'Brien said. "He
says 47 percent of Americans pay no tax. That's not correct. ... Forty-seven
percent of those people who pay no income tax -- look at that chart there -- 61
percent of those folks, they're paying payroll tax, and money is coming out of
their paycheck. It's being described as the myth of sort of the deadbeat
nation."
