'Seinfeld' actor mocks Romney after reference during GOP debate

"Seinfeld" actor Jason Alexander dealt a backhanded compliment on Thursday to Mitt Romney, who during a GOP debate referenced an iconic character Alexander played.

Alexander tweeted: “Thrilled Gov. Romney enjoys my old character. I enjoyed the character he used 2 b 2. If he'd embrace that again, he'd b a great candidate.”

Romney paraphrased a quote he attributed to the character George Costanza, played by Alexander, from the popular '90s sitcom "Seinfeld" during the Republican debate Wednesday night.
 
Romney was widely criticized for getting the quote wrong.
 
Alexander campaigned for Obama during the 2008 election.
