Robert Gibbs, senior adviser to the Obama campaign, said Tuesday that he doesn’t necessarily think the Romney campaign’s recent attacks on the president for purportedly gutting the work requirement from the welfare program are racially motivated — as many Democrats have suggested. What they are, Gibbs said on MSNBC, are completely inaccurate.
“I don’t know if they’re dog whistling to people in their party,” Gibbs told MSNBC’s Chuck Todd. “The ad is 100 percent completely false. There is not one person in this country that has looked at this ad from an independent perspective and said the president has in any way, shape or form ended the work requirement.”
