Mitt Romney’s Son Jokes About Taking 'Swing' At President Obama

Heated exchanges, accusations of dishonesty in town hall debate angers family

Tagg Romney, the eldest son of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, says President Barack Obama’s behavior in Tuesday night’s debate made him want to "jump out of [his] seat and ... rush down to the debate stage and take a swing at" the commander in chief. Tagg’s no fool: “But you know you can't do that because, well first because there's a lot of Secret Service between you and him, but also because this is the nature of the process, they're going to do everything they can do to try to make my dad into someone he's not,” he said in an interview with North Carolina radio host Bill LuMaye. It’s pretty brave of him to admit that. Wouldn't be surprised if Secret Service requested Tagg be seated as far away from Obama as possible in next week’s final debate. (Huffington Post)
