How do -- remember Romney after reported allegations of a high school prank that dates back to the early sixties.
The report that came out in a lengthy piece in the Washington Post yesterday.
Is that a group of boys held the alleged victim down in his dorm room.
While Romney cut his long.
Bleach blond hair and at this point had governor Romney says that he does not remember the incidents.
I had no idea what that individual's sexual orientation might be.
Going back to the 1960s that wasn't something that we all discussed or considered.
So that's that simply just not accurate.
I I don't recall the incident myself but I've I've seen the reports and not -- argue with that there's no question but that.
I did some stupid things and I was in high school.
And obviously if I hurt -- by virtue of that I I would be very sorry Ford and apologized for it.
Several class.
-- said in interviews that they remember the instinct clearly.
And that they could not forget it others say that while governor Romney was a prankster they don't remember him ever being vicious or cool.
