Democrats are going after Mitt Romney’s Harvard bashing, highlighting the Harvard alum’s numerous personal and campaign ties to the university he frequently badmouths on the campaign trail.
Romney has repeatedly slammed President Obama for taking his foreign policy advice from the “Harvard faculty lounge.” But as TPM noted over the weekend, Romney earned graduate degrees in both business and law from Harvard. In addition, three of his sons are Harvard graduates and his campaign includes multiple advisers who either teach at the elite university or hold a degree from it.
The DNC is emailing around multiple stories on Romney’s Harvard ties today while Democratic group American Bridge points out that Romney donated $50,000 to Harvard Business School in 2003. The Huffington Post also crunched the numbers on Romney’s political donations and found he had soaked up $56,000 from Harvard faculty and their spouses since 2002.
