The suggestion that President Obama's reelection team will try to use Mitt Romney's Mormon faith against him is "utter nonsense," the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee said this week.

"That is just preposterous," Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in an interview with MSNBC on Wednesday when asked about recent comments from Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Mormon himself, who suggested Tuesday that the president's reelection team is "going to throw the Mormon church at [Romney] like you can't believe."
