The GOP candidate is running 'most secretive campaign for president' in history, the DNC chair said. DNC chair: Mitt needs 'big boy pants'

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz offered Mitt Romney and his campaign team some stark advice on Monday: They “need to put their big boy and big girl pants on and defend his record.”

“Mitt Romney is running for president of the United States, and, you know, he and his campaign team leadership need to put their big boy and big girl pants on and defend his record,” The Democratic National Committee chair said on MSNBC. “They don’t want to show us his record. They’re running the most secretive campaign for president of a major party in history.”


The Florida Democrat reiterated the attack the Obama campaign has made suggesting Romney either committed a felony or lied to voters about his tenure at Bain Capital.

“Either Mitt Romney was lying on SEC forms and misrepresenting to his investors — which could be a felony — that he was the sole owner, president, CEO of Bain Capital from 1999 until almost the end of 2001, or he wasn’t and represented that he was,” she said. “You know, it can’t be both. And so if he was sole owner, president, CEO, then he is to be held accountable for the decisions that were made for the outsourcing of jobs that took place during that time.”

Wasserman Schultz also criticized Romney for failing to release his tax returns, saying, “Mitt is obviously wanting to keep something under wraps, so we’re going to continue holding him accountable for that.”
