Speaking in Stamford, Connecticut, Mitt’s missus said the following: “I love the fact that there are women out there who don’t have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids.”
Of course, she didn’t mean that she’s glad that some mothers have to work. She “meant” “I feel great empathy for women who don’t have the luxury of choice that I did as a mother, who must go to work and they still have to raise the kids. They do a terrific job.” Just as her husband didn’t mean to say “I don’t care about the very poor.” It just didn’t come out right.
