Ryan said Romney’s remarks were “obviously inarticulate.” Asked if he thought Mitt Romney regreted his comments, Ryan responded “I think he would have said it differently, that’s for sure.” Watch it: [HERE] 

At a press conference last night, Romney called his comments at the May fundraiser “inelegant” but largely defended his remarks.
