GOP strategist Ed Rollins: Romney should release more tax returns
Mitt Romney needs to release more years of tax returns top GOP strategist Ed Rollins said on Fox News on Sunday morning.
"I think at this point of time it's going to dog him all the way and he needs to get it behind him," Rollins said. "I think he needs to release more taxes. Absolutely."
Rollins, who managed the presidential campaigns of Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) and President Ronald Reagan, said he would have released records from “five or six years" much sooner.
"I would not put out 20 years and I obviously wouldn't respond to anything Harry Reid states," he said. "At the end of the day you come to the point where you basically give a little bit more and you move forward. And he's going to do that. Two years is not enough, obviously."
"They gave 23 years of tax returns John McCain campaign, they've given one year of tax returns to the American people," top Obama adviser David Axelrod said earlier on the program. "It was Gov. Romney's father who pioneered the release of tax returns when he ran for president because he said one year can be misleading. Why don't they just put this to rest? Why is he hiding?"
Rollins is the latest Republican to suggest Romney should put out more years of tax returns and get past the issue. Others include former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (R), Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol and conservative columnist George Will.
