Thompson to Romney Camp: ‘Quit Whining’ Over NRLC Endorsement
Friday, November 16th, 2007At a press availability in Manhattan on Thursday, Fred Thompson responded to an accusation from a Romney supporter that claimed his endorsement from the National Right to Life Committee was motivated by money.
Paul M. Weyrich–President of the Free Congress Foundation and Romney supporter–was quoted in a Washington Times article on Wednesday saying, “I think in all probability the Thompson people were engaged with the National Right to Life people in financial dealing.”
Shortly after Weyrich’s remarks were published, Thompson’s Communications Director, Todd Harris, said the Romney campaign was “clearly hoping for this endorsement and are now clearly upset. But being denied an endorsement is no excuse to impugn the integrity of the very organization they were just days ago trying to woo.”
