Red Arrow waitress criticized after challenging Romney

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- A waitress who had a well-documented confrontation with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney recently said news coverage has gotten her and her boss at the Red Arrow Diner a lot of criticism.

"I don't really want to talk about it other than to say I shouldn't have done it there when I was working," Michele Griffin said in an interview.

During a stop at the Manchester diner earlier in the month, Griffin asked Romney what he could do for her, a mother struggling to provide healthcare for children who all require medication.

Griffin asked Romney what his co-pay was for his own health insurance and there was a back and forth. The video was captured by the Washington Post and then promoted on the Drudge Report.

This week she was invited to meet personally with Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, who said he wanted to keep in touch after hearing her story.

Griffin wouldn't say if her job was threatened, but said "it wasn't a good situation".

"I am not the crazy woman the Washington Post made me out to be," she said. "But I shouldn't have asked the question while on the job."
