Bill Clinton: Praising Romney's business record doesn't connote endorsement [View all]

[Swede]

But at a rally in Paterson to support Rep. Bill Pascrell, Clinton said his remarks got "twisted around."


"I said, you know, Governor Romney had a good career in business and he was a governor, so he crosses the qualification threshold for him being president," Clinton said. "But he shouldn't be elected, because he is wrong on the economy and all these other issues.


"So today, because I didn't attack him personally and bash him, I wake up to read all these stories taking it out of context as if I had virtually endorsed him, which means the tea party has already won their first great victory: 'We are supposed to hate each to disagree.' That is wrong."
