He can’t look like that. That’s wrong. Just look at him!
Mitt Romney speaking about John Lauber, a soft-spoken new student one year behind Romney, who was perpetually teased for his nonconformity and presumed homosexuality. Romney was commenting on his “walking around the all-boys school with bleached-blond hair that draped over one eye.”
This testimony comes from Matthew Friedemann, Romney’s close friend in the Stevens Hall dorm. According to Friedemann’s recollection, Mitt kept complaining about Lauber’s look. Obsessively. Today the story’s being printed in the Washington Post.
The only thing that I know for sure is true is that this is being printed in the Washington Post, who says The incident was recalled similarly by five students, who gave their accounts independently of one another.
