Ann Romney ‘Happy’ To Blame The Media For Mitt’s 2012 Loss [Video]

Ann Romney is “happy to blame the media” over husband Mitt’s 2012 presidential election loss.

The Romneys appeared together on Fox News Sunday, with the almost First Lady revealing that she is “mostly over” Mitt’s 2012 loss, and saying that the media was unfair to him during his campaign. She said that she is “Happy to blame the media” for his loss.

“‘I’m mostly over it. But Not completely. You have moments where you go back and feel the sorrow of the loss, and, so, yeah, I think we are not mostly there yet,” Ann said.

She also mused on what it might have been like had Mitt Romney been elected president.

“I am like a shelion when it comes to defending Mitt. I know his heart, I know his abilities. I know he would have been a fabulous president and I mourn the fact that he is not there. It would have been much better for America if he had been there right now,” she said.

Ann Romney also blamed the press, saying that they never gave Mitt a fair shake from the get-go. She believes that the mainstream media contributed to his poor public image.

“He was not given a fair shake. People weren’t allowed to see him for who he really was,” she said.

She was then asked by Wallace if she blames the media for the 2012 election, to which to replied: “I am happy to blame the media.”

“I think that any time you are running for office you always think that you are being portrayed unfairly, and, you know, we — of course, on our side believe there is more bias in favor of the other side. I think that, you know, that is a pretty universal,” she said.

According to USA Today, Ann also swatted rumors that she was considering running for office herself, but confirmed that she had been asked by Dancing With the Stars to compete on the upcoming Season 16.

“I would’ve loved to have done it,” she said. “I’m not really as flexible as I should be.”

What do you think? Is the media to blame for Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential election loss? Watch the video of Ann Romney’s interview on Fox News below, via Mediaite:

    The Romneys like the Bush's need to go away, lick their wounds…and quit blaming everyone for their loss.

  3. This probably the first thing they could not buy….it wouldn't occur to them that the people did not want them.

  4. thats BS Jim, we just opt not to vote for the guy who took a dump on half of our country, if he had more human compassion then maybe he wouldve won

    Mitt Romney dug his own grave. The media simply reported it.
    Ask Massachusetts why he wasn't governor for two terms. They'll tell you… in spades.

  6. Mrs.Romney, is absolutely correct. MSM, has been in love with Obama, since 08, and are still in an ORGASMIC STATE. Of course they were instrumental in getting Obama elected, two times, not just one. This is not rocket science here. MSM, could not wait for a Black man to be President, and they proceeded wityh that agenda.

    Blacks shouldn't be allowed to vote if they only vote for COLOR OF SKIN. They are mostly too dumb to even understand anything about voting. What if KING KONG-bama was WHIte? Who would they have voted for?

  15. You lost. Stop being such crybabies and get over it.

    I agree with every word Mrs Romney said. The media and a lying Obama were successful in labeling a good, moral, qualified candidate into an out of touch rich guy. Romney would have helped this country and MINORITIES more than Obama could ever image! Obama keeps Minorities poor and dependent on his BIG government. Romney's agenda would have tried to help them out of poverty instead of paying them to stay there! All you idiots bashing Romney, are just so gullible and/or envious of people that have more than you. You can't tell when you're being lied to. Sad very SAD!

    You made 2 mistakes. You should have voted for Romney and it is Joesph Smith! Period!!!!!

  19. Amazing how delusional these two are……….the people have spoken, and they said NO to Mittens and his out of touch wife, they don't have a clue what it is like for regular citizens to live here and even more important, they don't care. Good riddance! 11

    Fredrick Deon Murray But it is OK for Obama to dump on the other half of the Country? I guess we know which half you are on!

  21. Ann, the Media only showed what your Husband said. I heard words come out of his mouth. 47%, etc, etc. Your just upset the American people did not want your Husband. Ann money can't buy you everything. Don't go away mad. Just go away.

    The fact is the media has far too much power. They should be required to distribute the truth.

    The Media loved oblama and they have him. When he starts closing the papers down I hope they're still happy.

    so Mitt got the nomination, just remember at one point Donald Trump was ahead of Mitt……………lol.
    it's not the party that is suffering, it's the people the party continues to back Rick Perry? Michele Bachman? Rick Santorum? the Party needs to realize they have a candidate problem, and they have to relate to all citizens , not just Red States. the Red states are slowly turning blue………….they need to adapt and relate to everyone, not just Rich folks. Sarah Palin……………………wtf

  28. Romney made his money outsourcing jobs putting his money in foreign banks… he is traitor in my book….thank god the capitalist didn't win they had the whitehouse for 8 years and look what they did

  32. My dear, equityman, I did not vote for Romney or any Rethug because of their war on women. I am pro-choice and for easy access to contraception. I am NOT for teaching creationism in science classes in public schools. I am for the separation of church and state. I have a doctorate in geological sciences and have seen the results of our warming climate on glaciers in Alaska. Rethugs are science deniers. That, equityman, is the reason that myself and from a consensus around the water cooler, why I and most of my coworkers voted Democratic. There is a lone creationist engineer in the mix, who mainly keeps to himself, and hung an upside down flag on his office door after the elections–we ignore him.

  33. Mrs. Romney is absolutely wrong as it pertains to my vote. Obama got my vote because he is pro-choice and believes in the separation of church and state–unlike the Tea Bagger Rethugs.

    Gee, I thought they were gone. Now they are "happy" and "mostly over"…g'bye, adios, farewell, what? Aren't you gone? Mostly? I am sure there is something else to think about other than how either of them "feels" about losing the election. Like, I don't know…water shortages and draughts, rising oceans, loss of species, poisoning the planet with things like heavy metals and other toxic wastes, starving children, over-population..things. LIKE THAT!

  36. If I wanted to be a slave brood mare to a rapist, I'd have voted for Romney and his sociopath VP, Paul Ryan, who stated that rape is just "another method of conception". This woman has a strong sense of personal autonomy; the Rethugs think of women as obligatory breeding machines. I vote for a pro-choice, pro-science candidate.

  37. Good riddance!

  38. to equityman why don't you move to Belize too, cry babies!

  39. BarbO calls himself Prisident? Showing your ignorance! Or maybe just a cry bay MORON!

    "She believes that the mainstream media contributed to his poor public image." I believe Mitt took care of that all by himself.

  41. The Romney's need to go away. The only person to blame is Willard Mitt Romney Mitt has NO idea what it's like for everyday normal people. Does Ann want some wine with her cheese.

  42. Mary Beth, you want to talk about blaming everyone else; when is Barack going to stop blaming everyone else for the fact that our economy is in the tank, he can't create any jobs, and he promised us that he would cut the budget deficit in half by the end of his first term. Obama makes the Sister of Weeping Willows look like girl scouts. He can't man up to anything.

    why don't you move…suereeves78. the romneys LOST!!! they lost because they are out of touch with the country. mitt romney lost because he flip flops and he is wishy washy. he did it to himself. the media had nothing to do with his loss. he did it to himself when he opted to alienate women, students, people of color, and the 47%. he also lost because he listened to fox news, another entity that is clueless. he has only himself to blame. what a bunch of cry babies.

    The liberal media by themselves did not necessarily elect Obama, but the definitely helped. Any well-informed and honest person knows that. Another thing that helped Obama get elected are parasites and fools. Not only Romney lost, but America lost. Look what they did to CA and the northeast. And after they screwed those places up, they move to conservative places where the cost of living and cost of business is low and they'll screw those places up too.

    Sharon Fay Diehl you have a Ph.D. and believe there is a war on women by Reps? You must have gotten your degree from a third rate school, or are a lying SOB. The Dems have a war against men by falsely claiming that the gender-wage gap is caused by discrimination, and use this lie to justify all kinds of unjustifiable women-only programs.

    Fredrick Deon Murray BS! Obama only cares about bums. Republicans want to let the free-market create jobs and prosperity. Democrats are constantly destroying liberty and increasing the welfare-state. Democrats are the pricks, and you are a prick.

    Romney was mostly right about the 47%. Many people, probably like you, like to get even more from other people using the confiscatory power of gov't. Parasites.

    A lot of you Repubs like to say Obama blames everyone yet I never heard the man once blame anyone.

  54. @stephanie kelley, stop being so naive, these republicans only want to see the rich stay rich and poor stay poor, they dont give a eff about the lower classes, btw who you calling a prick u ugly bi***

  55. Ann Romney is right. MSNBC has been carrying Obama's water since day one. They continue to protect him even if it means selling their souls to the devil by spreading falsehoods.. What low lifes. When will Americans wake up????

  56. …deaf!

  57. Laws to limit the access to safe abortion and contraception at women's health clinics in North Dakota, Arkansas, Virginia, Mississippi, [insert any red state], are being generated by the Rethugs. If you're fine with being forced to bear the spawn of a rapist should you have the bad luck of becoming pregnant from an attack, that's fine for you, but I am no slave brood mare to a rapist. The GOP thinks I'm a third class citizen after a man and a fetus. I will vote Democratic as long as they believe in a woman's bodily autonomy. Stephanie, my dear, you sound like a loon.
