Washington, Sept. 26 (ANI): Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's tanned look in a forum last week has come under criticism with many saying that he 'dyed his face brown' in an effort to appeal to Latino voters.
"Fake tan. Fake fans. Really sad," a Facebook user described Romney's ("I wish I were Latino") latest Hispanic misadventures.
According to the New York Daily News, in an interview with Univision, Romney came with an unnaturally tanned look. Univision has denied that this really happened, but looking at 'before' and 'after' photos of Romney eager to ingratiate himself with Hispanic voters, who overwhelmingly favor Obama, the suspicion remains.
The interview, a two-part series titled 'Conozca a los candidatos' (Meet the candidates), took place at the University of Miami.
At the forum, even after pleading with every conservative group on campus, Romney could not find enough sympathetic students to fill the auditorium, as had been agreed between the network and the candidates.
The Romney campaign, however, filled the forum with fake Romney supporters, who cheered his every word and booed practically every question from Salinas and Ramos.
"Last week's forum was the perfect example of Romney's Latino outreach strategy: 'cherry-pick Latino supporters, have them cheer loud enough to drown out Romney's vacuous responses, and declare victory after the fact," Frank Sharry, America's Voice executive director, said.
According to the report, not good news for Republicans and one more proof that, contrary to what the Romney campaign seems to believe, Latino voters are not stupid. (ANI)
