Which Candidate Did Santorum Accuse of Sounding Like...Occupy Wall Street?
February 22, 2012
"Governor Romney even today suggested raising taxes on the top one percent."
Mitt Romney took the fight to Rick Santorum right out of the gate in Wednesday night's debate. And Santorum hit back with a surprising attack.
"Governor Romney even today suggested raising taxes on the top one percent, adopting the Occupy Wall Street rhetoric," Santorum snapped at Romney.
This line of attack may surprise some, as Romney's experience at Bane Capital in many ways makes him arguably the archetypal anti-Occupy candidate. In fact, in previous debates, Romney has accused candidates such as Newt Gingrich of the same thing. Still, Romney kept his cool against Santorum's attack.
"There were so many misrepresentations in there it's going to take me a little while," Romney chuckled, before refuting the attack.
