Anti-Romney crowd flips after candidate bashes Paul McCartney ... in obviously fake news story

Did Mitt Romney really slam Paul McCartney’s performance at the Olympics opening ceremony?

No, no he didn’t. But for some, satire is hard.

From the satirical Andy Borowitz piece:

Any hope that the former Massachusetts governor would recover from such missteps was shattered after the Olympics’ Opening Ceremony, when he blasted former Beatle Paul McCartney for not being prepared to sing “Hey Jude.”

“He did not seem ready to sing that song, which was certainly disconcerting,” Romney said. “Maybe he should have gone with a song that he had done before.”

Hey, just because the subhead on The Borowitz Report is “Fake news and political satire” doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, right? The perpetually outraged anti-Romney crowd decided it was too good to check.

One Twitter user who called Romney a “dick” later admitted her mistake.

Maybe she can help PolitiFact analyze the Borowitz piece? We’re guessing the rating will be “fake, but accurate.”
