Romney: “I eat caviar out of a can like everyone else”
2/1/2012 8:05 PM Matt Rock -
Mitt Romney's relentless quest to come across as a regular American may have taken yet another wrong turn earlier today, when the extremely wealthy candidate fumbled repeatedly while trying to explain how normal he is. Romney, who admitted that he's “not concerned about the very poor” to CNN's Soledad O'Brien earlier in the day, was attempting to backpedal his remark while speaking with a large group of supporters in Nevada.
“Am I wealthy? Yes, yes I am. But otherwise, I'm no different from any of you,” Romney claimed. “I eat caviar out of a can like everyone else. I go golfing, I own a yacht... I'm just a typical American. I even used one of those `ATM' machines once! And let me tell you, that's probably why so many Americans are struggling today. Those ATM machines only allow you to take out $20, $40, and so on, and there's only five digit spaces. No wonder people can't pay their bills... their banks won't give them enough money to do so!”
“I'm just like you, folks,” Romney continued. “I eat, I drink, I go number-two, and I only have one servant to help wipe my backside. You're probably thinking I have three or four or five of them, but nope, just one, a woman named Florentina... and yes, she has papers. And my bidet? It shoots natural spring water, just like yours does! I'm really not any different from you, or the person sitting next to you, and I think I'm proving that tonight.”
When people started walking out of the event, Romney refused to flinch. “Look, I'm not embarrassed about being as normal as I am. Some of you might be offended that I'm not living the high life with my wealth, but all I really want is to be a regular person, that's it. Now, please join me and my kids for a buffet! Someone made a big dish of something interesting called `macaroni and cheese,' which I think is a Canadian delicacy. Bon appetit!” - Return to Previous Page
