In Their 1967 Book, Stephen Hess And David Broder Wrote That George Romney "Marched With Martin Luther King Through The Exclusive Grosse Point Suburb Of Detroit." "He has marched with Martin Luther King through the exclusive Grosse Pointe suburb of Detroit and he is on record in support of full-coverage Federal open-housing legislation." (Stephen Hess And David Broder, The Republican Establishment: The Present And Future Of The G.O.P., 1967, p. 107)

...and so I revert to my statement:

Just the same, asking whether the young Romney was actually there and parsing his words like this is pretty lame to me. If his Dad did march with King, then as a youth, his use of thew word "saw" could easily be understandable in the context of having been around at the time when his Dad did this...even if he wasn't personally at the march.

But that's just my opinion.

I differ with Mitt on his historical record on issues that are too critical to trust to what is essentially a "Johnny come lately"...except if it came down to a vote for him or Hillary or something like that.

I believe the claim in that book has been shown to be false.
