The Romney campaign continued its attempt to appeal to women with a cache of conservative females on a Thursday phone call with reporters.
Democratic strategist and frequent White House visitor Hilary Rosen?s Wednesday statement that Ann Romney ?never actually worked a day in her life? took center stage ? with the participants using the opportunity to hammer the administration for being out of touch with women.
?She has been paid, her firm has been paid by the Democratic National Committee. She has been down to the White House 35 different times advising the Obama administration on messaging,? said Washington Republican Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers tying Rosen to the administration. ?There is clearly a connection between Hilary Rosen and the Obama administration and she has been involved for many many years.?
Wyoming Republican Rep. Cynthia Lummis added that Rosen is part of the administration?s surrogate strategy. According to Lummis, Rosen?s comments were likely no accident.
?They are using surrogate women, including Hilary Rosen, to deliver messages about Republicans that the president does not want to deliver himself for fear of the backlash,? she said. ?But quite frankly as somebody who has visited the White House to advise on message over 30 times recently, her remarks are reflective of the message that the political machine within the White House intends to put out. ?
The Republican women piled on, voicing their dismay at Rosen?s insensitive comments.
?I think it was very insulting for President Obama?s advisor and DNC strategist Hilary Rosen to make the comment she did about Ann Romney yesterday, that she never worked a day in her life,? New Hampshire Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte said, noting that she is herself a mother of two. ?In fact it?s insulting that the president?s adviser would dismiss the value of the important and hard work women do raising children. Ann Romney chose to stay at home.?
