Hilary Rosen, a Democratic National Committee adviser, criticized Ann Romney on Wednesday night and accused her of failing to understand the economic concerns of women.
“His wife has actually never worked a day in her life,” Rosen said during a discussion on CNN's "AC360" Wednesday night.
“She’s never really dealt with the kinds of economic issues that a
majority of the women in this country are facing in terms of how do we
feed our kids, how do we send them to school and how do we — why we
worry about their future.”
Ann Romney, the wife of likely GOP nominee Mitt Romney, launched a new Twitter account Wednesday night and responded to Rosen's criticism.
"I made a choice to stay home and raise five boys. Believe me, it was hard work," she said in her tweet.
Top officials from the Obama campaign criticized Rosen's comments on Twitter.
