Rick Tyler: ‘100,000′ Romney Jobs Created in Southeast Asia and Mexico, Not USA
by Charles C. JohnsonYesterday on Breitbart.tv Rick Tyler of Newt Gingrich’s Super Pac told us that all of the 100,000 jobs that Mitt Romney and his surrogates advertise having credited were created in Southeast Asia and Mexico.
“Mitt Romney gives a bad name to capitalism,” Tyler told Steve Bannon on Breitbart.tv. Tyler served as a communication adviser for many years to Newt Gingrich and though they are legally prohibited from coordinating with the Gingrich campaign, there is little doubt that Tyler is doing his former boss’s bidding.
Tyler, who is running a series of anti-Romney ads after acquiring a film profiling the former Massachusetts governor’s Bain years, backed off his harsher language today in a Washington Post story:
“Show me where those jobs are?” Tyler said, in a reference to Romney’s frequent claim that he created over 100,000 jobs at Bain. “I would contend they are Mexican jobs and southeast Asian jobs.”
. . .
“This is not free-enterprise in the sense of Steve Jobs and Apple,” Tyler said. “People think of these [firings] as isolated incidents. But there is a Bain victim in nearly every state of the union. If voters learn about a pattern of predatory corporate muggings, I think they’re going to get angry.”
Mitt Romney hasn’t shared how he calculated the 100,000 jobs that he and his campaign have been advertising, but he assures voters that they are there.
