Romney Forced Holocaust Survivors To Eat Non-Kosher Food [Video]

The Florida primary is today and it wouldn’t be complete without the two front runners, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich have been slamming each other and their records all over the State. The latest Robocall from the Gingrich campaign might just cross the line of civil debate though.

On the call the Former House Speaker’s Campaign is telling elderly Jews that Romney signed a bill taking Kosher food away from elderly holocaust survivors.

The RoboCall says,

“As governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney vetoed a bill paying for kosher food for our seniors in nursing homes. Holocaust survivors, who for the first time, were forced to eat non-kosher, because Romney thought $5 was too much to pay for our grandparents to eat kosher. Where is Mitt Romney’s compassion for our seniors? Tuesday you can end Mitt Romney’s hypocrisy on religious freedom, with a vote for Newt Gingrich. Paid for by Newt 2012.”

Romney’s campaign responded by calling the Gingrich campaign “desperate”. Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul said in her daily press briefing that,

“It’s sad to see Speaker Gingrich lashing out in a desperate attempt to try and save his floundering campaign. Speaker Gingrich will say anything to distract voters from the fact that he suffered an unprecedented ethics reprimand, was forced to pay a $300,000 penalty, and resigned in disgrace at the hands of his own party. His record is one of failed and unreliable leadership and simply one Americans can’t risk.”

It is widely expected that Gingrich is going to lose Florida’s winner take all primary today. Polls have shown him lagging behind Romney by double digits.

Do you think Newt Gingrich stepped over the line?
