FOX News Anchor gets fed up with Romney campaign refusing to answer questions about his Tax Plan!

Sep 7, 2012

The Romney campaign has so far refused to clarify which tax deductions and loopholes it would eliminate in order to make its huge proposed tax cut for the rich revenue neutral. Despite repeated requests, the campaign and candidate have refused to budge, content to say that the tax plan “can’t be scored” due to its lack of detail.

And even Fox News has apparently had it with the campaign’s consistent dodging of this question, as Fox’s Gregg Jarrett repeatedly asked Romney policy director Lanhee Chen about it during an interview on Friday:

I may hold my nose and go to Fox's web site and send him an "atta boy". It can't be easy acting like an actual journalist over there. So maybe they need to hear from this "loyal viewer" how much I appreciate Gregg.

And then I'll take a shower, Silkwood style.

Perhaps if the few FOX anchors who ask Republicans tough questions get some positive feedback for it, we will see it once in a while.

It's just, "we're cutting taxes and you'll find out more after you elect us." It seems pretty clear at this point that whatever they are planning will be indefensible.

According to her, that's all we people need to know and it'll break his heart if we don't vote for him.
