Washington Sen. Patty Murray (D) on Wednesday made a thinly veiled reference to a dubious episode from Mitt Romney’s past to make the point that the Republicans will advance policies unfavorable to the middle class.
“With a Republican Congress sitting shotgun, Mitt Romney will put the middle class on the roof and take us for a long, painful ride,” Murray told the audience at the Democratic National Convention.
Murray was referring to an incident involving Romney’s dog, Seamus, who infamously rode on top of the family’s car on a 12-hour road trip to Canada in the 1980s.
