Romney Even Flips On His Own Dad

Mitt didn’t actually mean his father marched with MLK, when he said that remembered seeing it.

On Wednesday, Romney's campaign said his recollections of watching his father, an ardent civil rights supporter, march with King were meant to be figurative.

"He was speaking figuratively, not literally," Eric Fehrnstrom, spokesman for the Romney campaign, said of the candidate.

This comes only after multiple newspapers challenged the accuracy of the claim, when there was "no record of King marching in Grosse Pointe in 1963 or of then-Gov. Romney taking part in King's historic march down Woodward Avenue in June of that year."
