Real estate mogul and outspoken Mitt Romney supporter Donald Trump said Monday that in the wake of the Obama campaign’s sharp attacks on Romney’s record with Bain Capital, the former Massachusetts governor should give a second look at the much-publicized Republican strategy to invoke Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Appearing on Fox & Friends, Trump called the Obama campaign’s new ad that takes aim at Romney’s career with the private equity firm “nasty” and “unfair” and said the presumptive Republican nominee should respond in kind.
“It was a very unfair ad and frankly, if I were Mitt and Mitt is a very honorable guy, he stopped the Reverend Wright ads and he was, you know, sort of opposed to them,” Trump told the Fox hosts. “I’d let him go at it.”
