WASHINGTON -- Ann Romney rebuked Republican critics of her husband in two media appearances on Thursday, telling them to "stop it."
The wife of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, during a sit-down interview with CBS 59 in Milwaukee, was asked about the second-guessing within the GOP's tent over the campaign.
"You know there is always sniping and everyone always thinks they are the best critic, and they know this and they know that," she said. "And you know what, it is really amazing to me that people forget that what this election really is about is the economy."
In an interview with Radio Iowa, she was more forceful.
"Stop it. This is hard. You want to try it? Get in the ring, she said. This is hard and, you know, its an important thing that were doing right now and its an important election and it is time for all Americans to realize how significant this election is and how lucky we are to have someone with Mitts qualifications and experience and know-how to be able to have the opportunity to run this country."
