Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder has endorsed GOP nominee Mitt Romney in his presidential bid and the two have appeared together, but Romney describes Snyder as strange on the now-infamous fundraising video that surfaced this week, MLive reports.

"The governor of Michigan is a strange guy," Romney can be heard saying. "...One tough nerd. He's an IT guy ... In fact, he never wears a tie, like you."

A Snyder spokesman told the Detroit Free Press the remarks were not troubling to the governor.

The video, recorded secretly, was thrust into the spotlight, when Mother Jones wrote an article about it and posted it on YouTube.
