The "apology" Romney refers to was issued SIX HOURS before the attack.
Someone's certainly stepped in some shit now.
and it was by the Egyptian ambassador while protestors were massing outside his gates and the gate of the Libyan embassy...
no, he didn't step in.. he jumped in and has stayed there.. when he found out that he fucked up and made his statement even before it was reported and family notified.. in Fl today he doubled down..instead of admitting he fucked up... then no-nuts Romney got big nuts Newt to President Romney would shoot first and let God sort them out..*rollseyes*
In his remarks Wednesday in Florida, Romney said it was "never too early for the United States government to condemn attacks on Americans and to defend our values."
"I think it is a terrible course for America to stand in apology for our values," Romney said. "That instead when our grounds are being attacked and being breached that the first response of the United States must be outrage at the breach of the sovereignty of our nation. And apology for America's values is never the right course."
The fact that the statement came from the American embassy in Egypt, and not from the president himself, doesn't negate Obama's responsibility, Romney said.
"Their administration spoke. The president takes responsibility not just for the words that come from his mouth but also from his ambassadors, from his administration, from his embassies, from his State Department," the Republican candidate said.
Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker and a surrogate for Romney, also said the Republican's statement was justified.
"Governor Romney's statement is pretty clear," Gingrich said on CNN's "Starting Point." "If Gov. Romney were president he would be enraged at the Egyptians for tolerating the attack on the embassy. Both countries have an obligation to protect our embassies."
