Romney: Chris Christie and Hurricane Sandy didn't cost me the election

Posted by Aaron Blake on March 3, 2013 at 10:18 am

Mitt Romney said in an interview airing Sunday that he doesn’t blame New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) or Hurricane Sandy for his loss in the 2012 presidential race.

In his first public interview since the election, on “Fox News Sunday,” Romney instead blamed his own “47 percent” comments and his failure to connect with minority voters.

“I don’t think that’s why the president won the election,” Romney said of Sandy, though he also noted that it forced his campaign to cease operations for a few days.

Asked about Christie’s effusive praise of Obama in those final days, which has left a bad taste in the mouth of some conservatives, Romney said Christie was just doing his job.

was the fact that you are a greedy, tax cheating, psychopathic liar and you sent millions of working and middle class jobs out of this country, along with all the millions in profit you received for this act of betrayal of your fellow citizens.

was that when faced with a choice of either placing our economy and national security in your hands, or in the hands of a socialist communist Muslim Kenyan without a legitimate birth certificate, and who pals around with terrorists, we found YOU to be the less trustworthy.

Chew on that while you fade into obscurity.
