Tagg Romney Wanted To ‘Take A Swing’ At Obama For Trash Talking His Dad

tagg romney take a swing at obama

Tagg Romney, son of Mitt Romney and dad of six kids himself, had some harsh words for the President after watching his dad get his clock cleaned by Obama in the latest election showdown.

Tagg Romney is one of Mitt’s five sons, and was on hand at yesterday’s debate on the campus of Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. Much of the nation was riveted as the candidates traded barbs on the economy, Libya, health care and taxes (among other things), and the debate became very heated at parts — with the President and Romney literally seeming to step to each other at the most tense moments of the showdown.

Tagg Romney was not pleased with the way President Barack Obama stood up to his dad (a man we may speculate Tagg is not used to seeing bested or even spoken back to given his tenure at the helm of Bain and political career), and the Romney kid had something to say about it.

The report of Tagg Romney’s alleged itchy fists at the debate comes via the Daily Kos, and the blog quotes Tagg in a post-debate interview:

“Host: ‘I wanna ask something I know a lot of people want to know. What is it like for you to hear the President of the United States call your Dad a liar?’

fact checking the debate

“Tagg: ‘You know, ah, rush down to the debate stage and take a swing at him.But you know you can’t do that because, well, first there’s a lot of secret service agents between you and him…’”

The Daily Kos’ Tagg Romney quote comes from an MP3 file that you can listen to here — no word from the Romney camp on its veracity or comment on its content.

    Wow! Now, if he were only so passionate about defending his COUNTRY and enlist in the military! Put all that aggression to good, constructive, patriotic use… instead of commtting a FELONY by threatening assault and battery of the POTUS! So, Annie dear, any comment about YOUR petulant child today?

    Just like his dad.. He get's excited and his hands start flailing around.

    But seriously, a Very politically lightweight and immature thing to say. This isn't a young boy and this isn't a guy running for mayor of the Tea Party or county commissioner.

    But I sure would of liked to of seen how far the got if he tried.. that would of been priceless.. I give him 3 steps tops.. them boys in the background you never see.. ha.. they don't take too kindly to silly kid stuff.

    And if this statement is factually documented and recorded, as it seems to be, then the Secret Service needs to conduct an investigation on his punk ass! Further, he should be BANNED from the final debate site!!

    Senior Romney adviser Ed Gillespie told the Huffington Post that, while Romney would not repeal the Lilly Ledbetter Act, he “was opposed to it at the time” and would not have signed it.

    Threatening the President of the United States is a class D felony under United States Code Title 18, Section 871[1]. It consists of knowingly and willfully mailing or otherwise making "any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States". The United States Secret Service investigates suspected violations of this law and monitors those who have a history of threatening the President.

    TAGG, WHILE YOU ARE SITTING BACK THINKING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO PUNCH OUT THE PRESIDENT, YOU HAVE BETTER BE CONSENTRATING ON YOUR FATHER BECAUSE, HE IS THE ONE THAT IS GOING AROUND THE WORLD SPREADING LIES AND LOOKING DOWN HIS NOSE AT PEOPLE. HE HAVE THE NERVE TO TRY AND LIE HIS WAY OUT OF THINGS HE KNOW WAS SAID BY HIM WHEN HE IS IN THE PUBLIC EYE BUT, BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, YOUR FATHER I THINK IS NOT ONLY A SNOB BUT I THINK THAT HE IS ALSO RACIST, IF THIS NOT THE CASE WITH HIM I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY HE ALLOW SUCH RACIST PEOPLE TO PREMOTE HIS CAUSE. BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER. ROMNEYS
