Republican Mitt Romney slammed President Barack Obama's persistent attacks on his business record as "dishonest" and misdirected Monday, and rejected calls that he release more of his tax returns.
After weathering a weeks-long full-court press against his business record, and enduring Chicago mayor and former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel's demand to "stop whining" Sunday about attacks on Bain Capital, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee insisted he would hit out strong against Obama.
"I think when people accuse you of a crime, you have every reason to go after them pretty hard, and I'm going to continue to go after him," Romney told the "Fox & Friends" news program.
Obama campaign spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter had triggered a heated exchange between the campaigns last week when she suggested Romney may have committed a "felony" over his disclosures about his time at Bain Capital, the Boston-based private equity firm he started and headed.
