"I really don't have any response to Harry," Romney told Fox News' Carl Cameron. "You know, he can say whatever he'd like to say. This isn't a race about Harry Reid."
Reid, who has criticized Romney throughout his candidacy, said this week he agreed with a Mormon blogger who felt the candidate badly portrayed The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "I agree with him," Reid said. "[Romney's] coming to a state where there are a lot of members of the LDS Church ... They understand that he is not the face of Mormonism."
Romney's vice presidential pick, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), came to Romney's defense in the same Fox News interview.
"If there’s one thing we’ve learned about this we always get over-the-top comments from Harry Reid," Ryan said. "We’re used to hearing things like this coming from Harry. These kinds of comments have no place in it."
