Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney has conceded that he misspoke when he said he does not care about "the very poor' Americans.

"You know when you do I don't know how many thousands of interviews now and then you may get it wrong. And I misspoke. Plain and simple," Romney said.

Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, received widespread condemnation after he said in an interview that he does not care for the very poor.

"I am not concerned about the very poor. We have a safety net there. If it needs repair, I will fix it," Romney said.
