Mitt Romney is denying a explain that he done race-based insinuations about voter audience in his benefaction call to President Obama after a 2012 election.

“I positively did not,” Romney told Yahoo News

In his book Believer: My Forty Years In PoliticsRomney’s call

“Obama pronounced a suitable things, congratulating his competition on a hard- fought competition and wishing Romney’s family well. He was unsmiling during a call, and somewhat raw when it was over. ‘He said, ‘We were surprised. You unequivocally did a good pursuit of removing a opinion out in places like Cleveland and Milwaukee.’ In other words, black people,’ a boss said. ‘That’s what he thinks this was all about.’”

It didn’t occur that way, Romney told Yahoo News:

“I remember going into a room with a few of my staff people, picking adult a phone and being as friendly as we could presumably be during a really formidable time, and congratulating a boss on winning and congratulating him on carrying a good debate and using a good campaign.

“I might good have pronounced what a good pursuit they did branch people out, since they did — by a way, we don’t even know what happened in Milwaukee, so some of those quotes are apparently a misunderstanding.”

Axelrod says he stands by his comment 100%.

In an e-mail, Axelrod writes he doesn’t consider Romney was being ungracious. But in complimenting a Obama campaign’s get-out-the-vote efforts, Romney done references that a boss interpreted as yet he did, according to Axelrod.

“I consider it reflected how dual men, during a finish of a prolonged and rival race, were looking during things by opposite prisms,” Axelrod writes.
