Tagg Romney Bashes ‘Lib Media’ For Mad Men‘s Jab At George Romney

AMC’s Mad Men took a swipe at George Romney, Mitt Romney‘s father, on Sunday night’s episode. Well, looks like Tagg Romney (Mitt’s son) isn’t too pleased. Taking to Twitter, he called out the “lib media” for mocking his “dead grandpa.” He added that his grandfather was a “good man” and we need more like him.

The reference in question? A character on the show, Henry Francis, quipped, “Well, tell Jim his honor’s not going to Michigan. Because Romney’s a clown and I don’t want him standing next to him.”

In response, Tagg Romney tweeted:

Seriously, lib media mocking my dead grandpa? @aburnspolitico: “Well, tell [him] not going to Michigan. Because Romney’s a clown”
