Back in 2012, just six years ago, the DNC mocked Mitt Romney and gave then-President Obama a standing ovation for what the GOP nominee said about Russia during a debate:
Romney, who calls Russia our "No. 1 geopolitical foe," doesn't seem to realize it's the 21st century. #RomneyNotReady http://t.co/xcvhOAFS

During a discussion at OzyFest in New York City, DNC chair Tom Perez sat down with CNN’s Dana Bash:

The man who is now the chair of the political party that mocked Romney a few years ago suddenly sounded a lot like the person the DNC mocked:
On a panel at #Ozyfest Tom Perez tells Dana Bash, ‘Russia is our most serious adversary.’ That is emphatically not what the previous Democratic president said.

Was Perez pressed to offer a formal apology to Mitt Romney on behalf of the Democratic Party?
How dare he criticize Obama!
