Axelrod Rebuffs Booker

In an interview on NBC News, David Axelrod criticized Newark Mayor Cory Booker’s comments yesterday that attacks on Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital made him “uncomfortable.”

Said Axelrod: “In this particular instance, he was just wrong. There were specific instances here that speak to an economic theory that isn’t the right theory for the country.”

He added: “I love Cory Booker. He’s a great mayor. If my house was on fire, I’d hope he was my next door neighbor.”
