When reporters, frustrated at the lack of opportunities to ask the candidate questions, tried to get Romney’s attention, traveling press secretary Rick Gorka told the journalists: “Kiss my ass. This is a holy site.”
“So, trouble in England for answering questions, trouble in Poland for ignoring questions,” Stewart said Tuesday.
