Former Governor John Sununu, (R-N.H.), is taking heat for controversial comments he made at a political forum in New Hampshire this week, seeming to echo Mitt Romney’s 47% remark during the presidential election.
Sununu said Democrats “aggressively got out the base of their base, the base of their base that’s dependent, to a great extent, economically, on government policy and government programs,” The Concord Monitor reported.
That same night, Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI) gave the keynote address at the Kemp Foundation Leadership Award Dinner. He appeared to reject Governor Sununu’s remarks without addressing them directly, telling the crowd, “both parties tend to divide Americans into ‘our voters’ and ‘their voters’… Republicans must steer far clear of that trap.”
“Not only is it offensive to a large part of the American electorate, it also happens to be wrong,” Tony Fratto, CNBC contributor, said to msnbc’s Chris Jansing about Governor Sununu’s remarks.
“Republicans actually did very well, in fact Governor Romney did very well among lower income voters. So, it’s wrong,” Fratto said.
