Justin's Political Corner

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Tuesday scoffed at questions about whether his advertisements are misleading, saying an ad with a debunked claim about President Barack Obama’s welfare policy is “absolutely” true.

“We’ve been absolutely spot-on, and any time there’s anything that’s been amiss, we correct it or remove it,” Romney told CNN’s Jim Acosta in an interview.

The Romney campaign released an ad last month claiming Obama wanted to remove work requirements from welfare. A number of independent fact-checkers called those claims untrue, but Romney stuck to them when asked about the contradiction between his campaign complaining about the other side’s ads, but still running their own untruthful ones.
