Tagg Harvey Oswald explains why "you can’t do that."
Tagg Romney Calibrates ‘Swing’ at Obama Remark
By TRIP GABRIEL
The second presidential debate on Tuesday was a clash of finger-pointing, interruptions and bitter disagreements. Mitt Romney’s eldest son had an especially visceral reaction. Tagg Romney said his instinct was to “jump out of your seat” and “rush down to the debate stage and take a swing’’ at President Obama.
He was answering a North Carolina radio host, who asked how it felt to hear the president “call your dad a liar.’’
Tagg Romney quickly indicated he wasn’t speaking literally about striking the president.
“You know you can’t do that,’’ he continued, “because, well, first because there’s a lot of Secret Service between you and him, but also because this is the nature of the process. You know, they’re going to do everything they can do to try to make my dad into someone he’s not. We signed up for it. We’ve got to, kind of sit there and take our punches and then send them right back the other way.’’
