Priebus: Biden ‘chains’ remark ‘shameful’
By Meghashyam Mali - 08/15/12 09:14 AM ET

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus blasted Vice President Biden, calling a comment suggesting GOP economic policies wanted to put “put y’all back in chains” as “shameful.”

Priebus was asked Wednesday during an interview on NBC’s “Today” to explain what he believed Biden meant with the controversial comments.

“I don’t know what he meant. Obviously, I don’t think it was well received. I don’t think it’s the type of tone we need in this campaign,” he said. “I think it takes things to a new level, a level of negativity and I think it was a shameful comment.”

and this is taking the high road?




Priebus was asked about his own recent comments that President Obama had “blood on his hands” for cutting $700 billion in Medicare, but sidestepped the question, saying that the Romney campaign wanted “to talk about the issues.”

“We’re willing, very boldly, to talk about how are we going to save Medicare, how are we going to get our country back on track. That’s what this campaign is about. We’re willing to do that. We don’t want to go down that road they are taking us.”
