*CTR STATEMENT ON ROMNEY SPEECH TONIGHT*

Washington, DC – Correct The Record released the following statement in
response to released excerpts of Mitt Romney’s speech tonight at
Mississippi State University, in which, according to reports, he recklessly
and inaccurately attacked former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Correct The Record’s Communications Director, Adrienne Elrod, said, “Mitt
Romney's reckless, inaccurate attacks against Hillary Clinton are laughable.

“Regarding Russia, what Mitt Romney fails to mention is that as one of the
most accomplished Secretaries of State in U.S. history, Hillary Clinton
obtained Russian cooperation on key objectives like sanctions on Iran and
arms control while remaining one of the administration’s most skeptical
voices about Putin.

"And it’s ironic that the guy whose own company bought American companies
and then outsourced those jobs overseas is even bringing up the topic of
jobs. Hillary Clinton has spent her lifetime working to lift up the middle
class and level the playing field for all Americans – something elitist
Mitt Romney could never understand.

"Mitt Romney hopes to recast himself as the guy looking out for the
underprivileged. Working Americans need hope. Mitt needs to stick with
reality. Let's not forget who criticized ‘the 47% of Americans who believe
that they are victims’, who argued that Detroit should go bankrupt and who
is beholden to special interests.”
