Presidential Debate 2012: Tagg Romney Threatens to Punch President Obama (VIDEO)

Mitt Romney's son, Tagg Romney felt like throwing punches of his own at President Obama during Tuesday night's debate.

On an interview with a North Carolina radio station, the host asked Tagg how he felt when the president accused his father of being "a liar."

"Jump out of your seat and you want to rush down to the debate stage and take a swing at him," he answered with a quick laugh.

"But you know you can't do that because, well, first because there's a lot of Secret Service between you and him, but also because this is the nature of the process. They're gonna try to do everything they can do to try to make my dad into someone he's not."

Tagg then admitted that his family signed up for it and it's their job to sit there, take the punches and send some right back the other way.

Tagg, who happens to be Romney's eldest son revealed something about his father, which may have been obvious to those who paid close attention to the past two debates.

When he was asked whether or not his father gets nervous before the debates, his response was, ""Absolutely, are you kidding? He's terrified before he gets out there!"

He then added that terrified is too strong of a word to describe how his father feels before the debate.

"But you know, he's like anybody - he gets butterflies a little bit," Tagg said.

"And then once he's in it, two or three minutes, he's forgotten about the nervousness.

Tagg has been strongly standing behind his father's back throughout the entire election process. The next and final presidential debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney will be on Monday, Oct. 22, at 9 p.m.
