Romney Slams Teresa Heinz Kerry

Does anyone really remember 2004 that well? Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney took a swipe at 2004 Democratic nominee John Kerry’s wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry, for not releasing her tax returns—although she did, actually, release her partial 2003 tax returns. On Fox and Friends Monday, Romney said Heinz Kerry “has hundreds of millions of dollars, [but] she never released her tax returns” adding, “Somehow, that wasn’t an issue.” But Heinz Kerry, the heiress to the Heinz fortune, did release a portion of her 2003 tax returns in October 2004, after an initial estimate in May of the same year. Romney adviser Ed Gillespie tried a similar tact on Sunday, claiming John Kerry hadn’t released his tax returns—a claim that had been debunked months ago.
