2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Ann Romney's nanny: "It's true that Ann Romney never worked a day in her life." [View all]
The woman who worked as nanny to Ann and her brothers at the time Ann was dating Mitt called in to Stephanie Miller's show today. She said that it was her job to do all the work, even take care of Ann's horse, during those years - and repeated several times that, while both Ann and Mitt are nice people, it's true that "Ann never worked a day in her life."
Just a new wrinkle in the story...
