Romney first said it in one of his stump speeches, that because of President Obama jeep manufacturing was leaving Ohio, destroying jobs in the process, and relocating to China. He then doubled down on that message with an ad geared to the people of Ohio. Then, to cover all his basis, Mitt Romney is presently playing a radio ad in the state explaining that Jeep manufacturing is on its way to China.
The problem is Mitt Romney is lying, and it was pointed out to him after he said it in his original stump speech. Chrysler, the parent company of Jeep, told Romney that what he was saying was incorrect. Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne responded in a statement;
“I feel obliged to unambiguously restate our position: Jeep production will not be moved from the United States to China. Jeep assembly lines will remain in operation in the United States and will constitute the backbone of the brand. … It is inaccurate to suggest anything different.”
But of course, hearing the CEO of the company say you’re wrong means absolutely nothing to the Romney campaign and the lie that Jeep is moving to China is still featured in his campaign speeches, on television and now on radio.
The Obama campaign is also pointing to this latest Romney lie by putting out an ad of their own. In the ad, Romney is referred to as “dishonest.” I’ll be a little more blunt and call it the way I see it. Romney is a liar!
