Mitt Romney returned from a three-week spring break in 1965 to resume his studies as a high school senior at the prestigious Cranbrook School. Back on the handsome campus, studded with Tudor brick buildings and manicured fields, he spotted something he thought did not belong at a school where the boys wore ties and carried briefcases. John Lauber, a soft-spoken new student one year behind Romney, was perpetually teased for his nonconformity and presumed homosexuality. Now he was walking around the all-boys school with bleached-blond hair that draped over one eye, and Romney wasn’t having it.
“He can’t look like that. That’s wrong. Just look at him!” an incensed Romney told Matthew Friedemann, his close friend in the Stevens Hall dorm, according to Friedemann’s recollection. Mitt, the teenage son of Michigan Gov. George Romney, kept complaining about Lauber’s look, Friedemann recalled.
Romney har inte förnekad incidenten, utan istället bett om ursäkt om han gjort något opassande, något som framkommer i detta inslag med Chris Matthews på MSNBC:

Även om Romneys beteende som 18-åring med all sannolikhet har väldigt lite att göra med hur Romney är idag, så kommer förstås givetvis hans meningsmotståndare försöka sätta dit honom för det här. Här har MSNBC ett annat inslag med Lawrence O Donnell:
