It’s only bad when Republicans do it.
Via Beltway Confidential:
Overnight, DNC strategist and CNN analyst Hilary Rosen became a lightning rod of controversy after attacking Ann Romney for, “never working a day in her life.”
That attack quickly escalated after Ann Romney joined Twitter to defend herself and Rosen refused to apologize, doubling down on her controversial statements.
In 2008, Rosen derided Republican attacks against Michelle Obama as an example as “stupid strategy.”
“You know essentially, you’ve taken on sort of the most sympathetic person in the candidate’s realm, the wife, who is taking care of the children, supporting the husband, doing everything she can because she loves him,” Rosen said on Anderson Cooper 360 according to a CNN transcript from May 19, 2008.
