MSNBC: Nobody Needs Your Hurricane Donations Mitt Romney

MSNBC: Nobody Needs Your Hurricane Donations Mitt Romney - Katie Pavlich
Oct 31, 2012 07:55 AM EST
Yesterday Mitt Romney turned a previously scheduled campaign event in Ohio into a hurricane relief event. Romney asked supporters to bring canned goods and other supplies to help storm victims recover on the East Coast. He only spoke for ten minutes at the event and quickly jumped in to help load supplies. His campaign bus has been accepting hurricane relief donations since Monday in Northern Virginia. Sounds like a great idea right? Not according to MSNBC. Reporters and anchors at the far-left TV outlet were appalled at Romney's efforts to give back to the community, after all, his charity and generosity doesn't fit with their "Romney is an evil rich guy who doesn't care about regular people" narrative.

Are these people sick? And yes you heard them correctly, they are actually criticizing Romney for trying to help people.
The Republican Party...come for the misogyny, stay for the racism.
Look another plagiarizing liberal...

I love MSDNC!!!
Their primetime line-up is funnier than eddie murphy in the 80's
But the question is..................did Mittens really do anything with his campaign stop that was retitled "storm relief" that helped the people in New Jersey?
Oh yeah..............what about the 5,000 dollars spent at Wal-Mart to make the event look plausible?
The Red Cross says not to give canned goods.
So Romney asks for canned goods.
Romney can't even get hurricane relief right.
Of course Red Cross wants the cash. The CEO of the Red Cross is paid a fortune.
And by the way, they had screens up asking for donations. Oh and there are other agencies who would gladly take the donated items.
Tiny Dancer -
The Red Cross specificaly asked people not to donate food.
Romney asked people to donate food.
And yet your posts on this thread do not mention this - but attack the media for reporting the story.
Do you consider this to be honst posting?
Cans of food is exactly what the east coast needs right now.
I applaud you for your sarcasm.
The Red Cross wants donations, cash, personal checks, Visa cards, not cans of tuna.
Romney didn't have enough empathy to cancel his political outing so he tried to save face by collecting canned goods that weren't requested in the first place.
The Red Cross needs donations of cash at this time, period.
He looked like a goofball standing on that stage.
That big sign up in the arena telling people how to donate money to the Red Cross was really a vote Romney ad?

His staff going out and buying food to hand to people that came with nothing to a political rally, where they could hand it back to Romeny for photo ops is a situation where he is more concerned about the victims than campaigning?

The American Red Cross appreciates the support from the Romney campaign and is working with the campaign to process this donation of supplies, the relief agency said in a statement. We are grateful that both the Obama and Romney campaigns have also encouraged the public to send financial donations to the Red Cross. We encourage individuals who want to help to consider making a financial donation or making an appointment to give blood.

You don't think the canned food donations can go to an organization OTHER than the Red Cross?
Is the Red Cross the ONLY organization that is mobilizing to help the people affected?
Were the big screen pleas for Red Cross donations AT THE EVENT not VISIBLE?
Fucking HACKS!

Without evidence you have an accusation. Where's your evidence?
Mitt Romney was really concerned that his "Storm Relief Event" in Kettering, Ohio yesterday would look like a dud, so he and his team stocked their donation tables with $5,000 worth of supplies at Walmart. The props, according to Buzzfeed's McKay Coppins, were things like granola bars, canned food, and diapers which were strategically placed to make sure that the photographs taken at Romney's "Storm Relief" campaign didn't a show very un-busy, un-stocked relief table (what else do you expect when you give people short notice to donate their canned goods?). But ... but ... look at how pretty all those fake donations look:
And apparently, the event was so manufactured that they allowed supporters to use the donations which were bought by the campaign, to donate back to the campaign. According to Coppins:
Empty-handed supporters pled for entrance, with one woman asking, "What if we dropped off our donations up front?"
The volunteer gestured toward a pile of groceries conveniently stacked near the candidate. "Just grab something," he said.
Two teenage boys retrieved a jar of peanut butter each, and got in line. When it was their turn, they handed their "donations" to Romney. He took them, smiled, and offered an earnest "Thank you."
Fine. Maybe it doesn't matter who bought the goods as long as they all went to people in need. "The campaign confirmed that it 'did donate supplies to the relief effort,' but would not specify how much it spent," reported Coppins.
