Romney Campaign Still Misidentifying Rosen As ‘Obama Adviser’

The Romney campaign continued to misidentify Hilary Rosen as an “Obama adviser” Thursday evening in a campaign email. The email was fired off Thursday evening to raise money off of what the campaign has dubbed Obama’s “war on moms.” 

The text of the email is below (emphasis ours):

If you’re a stay-at-home mom, the Democrats have a message for you: you’ve never worked a day in your life.

 

That’s exactly what Obama adviser Hilary Rosen said about Ann Romney last night.

 

Ann Romney represents the best of what happens inside the American home every day. Family. Something to be cherished, not mocked.

Her choice was to stay at home and raise her five sons. That is no easy task for any mother — especially a woman who battled through breast cancer and multiple sclerosis. 

As a mother and a former Chief of Staff to Governor Romney, I can say first-hand that raising my kids was the toughest job I’ve ever had.   

We stand with Mitt and Ann in saying that all women play an important role in our country. America deserves a president who will bring us together — not pit us against each other.

Here’s some background on the Romney campaign’s continuous attempts to link Rosen directly to the Obama campaign. Obama’s top campaign operatives, President Obama himself, and the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, have all condemned the comments.
