Romney Apologizes For Prep Pranks
Mitt Romney repeatedly apologized Thursday for pranks he played in high school that may have offended or hurt other students, even though he said he does not remember them. The apologies came in a Fox News
radio interview that host Brian Kilmeade said was lined up because Romney wanted to discuss a
Washington Post story
about the incidents. The Post story led with a vivid description of Romney repeatedly clipping the hair of a young man - presumed to be a homosexual - while other classmates pinned him to the floor, as the victim screamed for help and his eyes filled with tears. “I don’t remember that incident,” Romney told Kilmeade. “I tell you I certainly don’t believe that I … thought the fella was homosexual. That was the furthest thing from our minds back in the 1960s. So that was not the case. But as to pranks that were played back then, I don’t remember them all but again, high school days - if I did stupid things I’m afraid I gotta say sorry for it”/
