And Mitt Romney’s father was born in Mexico, where their ancestors moved to spite Utah (and the gubbermint) outlawing polygamy in order to become a state. Choosing religion over the Constitution.
Mitt Romney’s father, George Romney, also fought most of his life for housing equity for black people and low income housing in general. He fought to allow housing desegregation and to remove barriers that sought to redline areas. He ultimately staked, and lost, his political career over that fight. I suspect that’s what made Mitt such a coward, he saw the price Republicans pay for having a conscience when the rest of the party doesn’t. George wasn’t responsible for what his parents did. I might not agree with everything George Romney believed, but he was a good man.
