WASHINGTON — Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman’s campaign said Wednesday that jobs lost at a company managed by rival Mitt Romney counter the latter’s claims of being a job creator.
Huntsman’s campaign and allies said Romney’s venture- capital firm oversaw more than 100 layoffs in New Hampshire while it eventually reaped millions in profits.
An Associated Press report this week found that The Holson Burnes Group, controlled by Romney’s Bain Capital LLC, closed plants in New Hampshire and Gaffney, S.C., as it shipped other jobs overseas. The economic fallout struck hardest in New Hampshire and South Carolina, early primary states that will shape the Republican race and Romney’s White House prospects.
