Reporters criticize Romney for turning Hurricane relief event into political rally [View all]

I wrote last night about how it seemed that Mitt Romney was planning on using Hurricane Sandy to camouflage a political event today in Ohio (and similar ones in WI for Paul Ryan). It turns out I was right. Reporters on the scene of the “charity” event are horrified by the politickig they’re seeing. Here are a few of their tweets this morning from the event.

USA Today reporter Jackie Kucinich:



Politico’s James Hohman concurs – it’s a campaign party with music and everything!



And here’s NPR’s Ari Shapiro:



The Washington Post’s Philip Rucker seems equally confused:



Don’t take the reporters’ words for it – the Romney campaign is now calling today’s event a “Victory Rally.”
