Mitt Romney sharpened his response to Rep. Todd Akin’s (R-MO) “legitimate rape” comment Monday.

“Congressman’s Akin comments on rape are insulting, inexcusable, and, frankly, wrong,” Romney told National Review. “Like millions of other Americans, we found them to be offensive.”

Romney said Akin’s remarks were “entirely without merit and he should correct it.”
