Romney operative supports executing welfare recipients

Meet Clifford Russell, who helps run the Romney campaign in Virginia.

He's got some big ideas, ol' Cliff does. It's just too bad that they're stupid ideas. Take climate change, for instance. He says it's all a hoax. He thinks it's a hoax because freedom, don't ya know.

And what are Clifford's views on welfare? He says we should execute parents who are on welfare and put the kids up for adoption. "Yes, I mean it. Get rid of all of them, give the kids up for adoption, execute the parents, and you get rid of the problem," he said. He said that if we do this, "word would get out soon" that the poor shouldn't have kids.

He later issued a letter clarifying his position. It reads:

"I did not say that I wanted to execute parents on welfare and give their kids up for adoption.

"I said that it would be better to execute the parents of an illegitimate child and put their child up for adoption."

Oh.
