Woman tells Romney Obama ‘should be tried for treason'

Some of Mitt Romney‘s best moments on the 2012 campaign trail have come during town hall meetings when the candidate, long criticized as too uptight on the stump, strays off script to take questions from voters.

But the freewheeling nature of voter forums can have its drawbacks. Romney has faced hostile questions on everything from his wealth to his religion. And on Monday, he experienced another awkward moment, when a supporter stood and declared that President Barack Obama should be “tried for treason.”

The comment came during a town hall meeting in Cleveland. Taking the microphone, a woman told Romney that Obama had been “operating outside the structure of our Constitution.

” Pausing after her question, she remarked to another member of the audience, “I agree, he should be tried for treason.”

Turning back to Romney, she asked what he would do to “restore balance” between the three branches of government and “restore our Constitution.” She did not specify why she believed Obama should be “tried for treason”—a comment that received a huge applause from the audience. And when it was his turn to respond, Romney ignored her suggestion about “treason” and instead spoke about how he would “respect the different branches of government.”

Afterwards, as he shook hands along the rope line, the New York Times’ Ashley Parker asked Romney if he agreed with the woman’s comment regarding a “treason” sentence for Obama. “No, of course not,” the candidate said.

But by then, Romney’s Democratic opponents had already pounced, accusing him of not standing up to “extreme voices” in his party, as Obama’s campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt put it.
