Remember the unemployed SC woman Ruth Williams, who Mitt Romney gave a wad of cash to as she waited on the ropeline to shake his hand last weekend? You will recall I called it a photo op and a campaign stunt. Well, guess what? She’s now part of his stump speech.
“I spoke with a woman the other day who with tears running down her face said, ‘Can you find me a job, I’m looking for a job,’” said Romney at a rally this morning. “Nine point nine percent unemployment in South Carolina. It just breaks your heart to see what’s happening across the country.” Source: ABC News
So, for all the people who said I was making a big deal out of nothing, um, think again. It should also be noted that Ruth Williams worked as a volunteer at one of his campaign offices, so it’s no surprise that he handed her money. Um, Ruth Williams is nothing more than a token black for Mitt Romney to say, “see, I care about the little people.”
