To: Mitt Romney
Romney Must Answer
Mitt Romney assaulted and traumatized a youth he thought was gay. His behavior was never punished. If such an assault occurred today on a school campus, what does Mr. Romney feel should be the punishment? Mr. Romney says he does not remember the incident, if this is true, is it because the incident was insignificant in Mr. Romney's mind or because this was just typical Mitt Romney behavior?
Why is this important?
As a senior at a prestigious school, Romney and cohorts held down and cut the hair of a junior student whom Romney believed was gay. The school did not punish Romney in any way. Romney says he does not remember the incident although his cohorts remember the incident well. Was such behavior such a core element of his personality and behavior that this particular incident is not remembered? Romney's behavior today would be prosecuted as an assault, false imprisonment and possibly a hate crime. Yet, amazingly, Romney claims he does not remember the incident where a child was so traumatized he had to take time from school to recover. Is such behavior part of Romney's personality? How does he believe such behavior should be punished?
