Romney campaign surrogate Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) stood by a new Romney ad in Ohio blaming the auto-industry rescue for Jeep production in China, saying that “the Romney campaign stands by it and believes that it’s accurate,” during an appearance on MSNBC Monday. 

The ad, the press became aware of on Sunday, provides misleading information about Obama’s auto bailout and Chrysler’s plans to begin Jeep production in China — prompting negative reactions from members of the media. Jeep has said it plans to begin production in China for Chinese consumers and has no plans to outsource Ohio production.

“It’s 100 percent correct and accurate,” Chaffetz said.
