Romney Didn't Make Up MLK Story
-- by Dave Johnson
Mitt Romney's father George was solid on civil rights, and probably did walk with Martin Luther King - at least would have if he had the opportunity. I saw something that indicated this yesterday, but not enough to post. But this has more: Talking Points Memo | Witnesses Back Up Mitt Romney On MLK,
It's looking like Mitt Romney might have been judged too quickly on the Martin Luther King business. Two witnesses have now come forward to The Politico, insisting that they saw the late Gov. George Romney (R-MI) make a surprise appearance alongside King in 1963.Fair is fair. This certainly is not an endorsement of Mitt Romney.The campaign has also posted a collection of citations — including a contemporary account from the Detroit Free Press — attesting that it happened.
