A leaked video of Mitt Romney's remarks at the home of pizza tycoon John Schnatter show the GOP presidential candidate marveling at the luxurious setting and declaring that Republicans believe that "everyone should live like this."
"What a place this is, my goodness. Who would have imagined pizza could build this, you know that? This is really something," Romney said at the beginning of his speech at a private fundraiser hosted by the Papa John's founder. "Dont you love this country? What a home this is, what grounds these are, the pool, the golf course. You know if a Democrat were here, he'd look around and say, 'No one should live like this.' Republicans come here and say, 'Everyone should live like this, all right.' This is a really tribute to America, to entrepreneurship."
Video of the event, which was closed to the public, was taken via cellphone and posted on YouTube the same day the fundraiser took place, April 19. The clip was uncovered Monday by the progressive blog Think Progress, a subsidiary of the Center for American Progress Action Fund. According to reports from local media, the fundraiser had a $1,000 entry fee. A photo taken with Romney cost an additional $1,500.
