Ann Romney fires back at never-worked charge
WASHINGTON — Ann Romney says raising five sons was a full-time job and that her husband, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, considered it more important than his role as family breadwinner.
Interviewed Thursday by Fox News, Ann Romney said women need to respect each other’s choices. She was responding to Democratic consultant Hilary Rosen’s comment a day earlier on CNN that Ann Romney shouldn’t talk about women and the economy because she “hasn’t worked a day in her life.”
The remark sparked an uproar as both parties work to win the critical votes of women this election year. President Barack Obama’s advisers demanded that Rosen apologize. She has not backed off.
