Now the truth comes out that George Romney really DID march with MLK in Grosse Pointe, with actual participants of the march giving their statements to the press and demanding apologies from those pundits who said it didn’t happen.
Now what then? It turns out Mitt Romney did NOT lie about that. However, he was loose with his words when he said he “saw” them march together, claiming he was speaking figuratively.
What exactly have Americans become when a particular politician needs to watch his every word to make sure nothing he says can ever come back to haunt him?
Which American politician has NEVER lied or stretched the truth or spoken figuratively? If ALL of them do it (for example, did Mike Huckabee REALLY stayed at the “Holiday Inn Express” that night?) why gang up on Romney for acting like all politicians?
Could it be because Americans hold him to a higher standard than all other politicians? If so, why?
It’s a good question to ask.
This is absolute baloney. MLK was not at Romney's Grosse Pointe event, and Romney was not at MLK's event six days earlier. The accounts written in 1963 by the people who were there establish this, and after claiming he marched with MLK in Detroit, Mitt Romney now admits that never happened.
Just how is Mitt worth all this twisting and fact-bending?
