Mitt Romney: Occupy Wall Street Is ‘Dangerous…Class Warfare’

Mitt Romney

Mitt Romney weighed in on the growing Occupy Wall Street movement at a town hall meeting in Florida today. And in the eyes of that particular millionaire businessman, the protests aren’t good.

“I think it’s dangerous, this class warfare,” Romney said, according to National Journal.

The protests are being called the spark of a liberal tea party by some in the progressive movement and it appears Romney’s reaction to the progressive protests mirrors that of many Democrats when the tea party booted up.

Namely, fear.

It’s unlikely that many Occupy Wall Street protesters would be upset that Romney called them “dangerous,” but it’s also more than likely many of them would disagree with the class warfare moniker.
