Mitt Romney is personally holding a joint fundraiser with Donald Trump Tuesday night in Las Vegas, but his campaign is blaming Democrats for making an issue out of Trump’s days-long birther screed.
“The Democrats can talk about Donald Trump all they want – Mitt Romney is going to talk about jobs,” a spokesman told CNN, adding that Romney believes Obama was born in the United States.
Trump publicly challanged Romney to embrace birthers on Tuesday, warning on Twitter that repudiating the movement could cost Republicans the election.
