Republican and Conservative political analysis and commentary

In what seems to be a case of 'he said, he said,' a "Romney supporter" penned an angry column aimed at Mitt Romney for comments he made at a fundraiser:

I asked Mr. Romney whether he would consider including qualified Americans of the Islamic faith in his cabinet as advisers on national security matters, given his position that "jihadism" is the principal foreign policy threat facing America today. He answered, "…based on the numbers of American Muslims [as a percentage] in our population, I cannot see that a cabinet position would be justified. But of course, I would imagine that Muslims could serve at lower levels of my administration."

Per CBS, Romney responded to the allegation saying he had heard the question differently:

“His question was, 'did I need to have a Muslim in my cabinet to be able to confront radical jihad and would it be important to have a Muslim in my cabinet,'" said Romney. "And I said, ‘No I don’t think that you have to have a Muslim in the cabinet to be able to, to take on radical jihad any more than during the Second World War we needed to have a Japanese-American to help us understand the threat that was coming from Japan,’ or something of that nature.” 

As the event was closed the media, there is no telling what exactly was asked...unless of course someone caught it on video...
