Mitt Romney didn’t explicitly call for Rep. Todd Akin to resign from the Missouri Senate race in an interview with WMUR in New Hampshire that aired Monday.

“He should understand that his words with regards to rape are words that I can’t defend, that we can’t defend, and we can’t defend him,” Romney told WMUR.
