THE LIE: Gov. Jack Markell Says Mitt Romney Shipped Jobs Overseas.
THE REALITY: This Claim Has Been Proven False By Numerous Independent Fact Checkers.
President Obama’s Campaign Distortions Have Been Debunked By Nonpartisan Sources As “Misleading, Unfair And Untrue”:
FactCheck.org: “We Found No Evidence To Support The Claim That Romney - While He Was Still Running Bain Capital - Shipped American Jobs Overseas.” “But after reviewing numerous corporate filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, contemporary news accounts, company histories and press releases, and the evidence offered by both the Obama and Romney campaigns, we found no evidence to support the claim that Romney - while he was still running Bain Capital - shipped American jobs overseas.” (Robert Farley and Eugene Kiely, “Obama’s ‘Outsourcer’ Overreach,” FactCheck.org, 6/29/12)
- FactCheck.org: “The Post Story Did Not Reveal, To Use The Obama Campaign’s Term, That Romney Relocated U.S. Jobs To Foreign Countries.” (Robert Farley and Eugene Kiely, “Obama’s ‘Outsourcer’ Overreach,” FactCheck.org, 6/29/12)
The Washington Post , On Obama Claims That Governor Romney Shipped Jobs Overseas: “On Just About Every Level, This Ad Is Misleading, Unfair And Untrue…” “The Obama campaign fails to make its case. On just about every level, this ad is misleading, unfair and untrue, from the use of ‘corporate raider’ to its examples of alleged outsourcing. Simply repeating the same debunked claims won’t make them any more correct.” (Glenn Kessler, “4 Pinocchios For Obama’s Newest Anti-Romney Ad,” The Washington Post , 6/21/12)
