Politics Full context of Romney‘s ’I won‘t cry’ remark

On Friday I posted a Mitt Romney quote from a campaign event in Iowa in which he appeared to be making fun of a moment from earlier in the day in which Newt Gingrich cried.
From the post:
Mitt Romney made fun of the moment. At a separate event later in the day, he talked about his own parents and how they raised him, adding, “No, no, I won’t cry,” according to Politico.
Thank God. There’s no shame in crying, but laying it out in public? Spare me. There’s no way Michele Bachmann would get away with it. None of the men should either.
As BLAZE reader DIANARAE pointed out in the comments section of the post, that wasn‘t the full context of Romney’s quote. Romney followed with, “but I do. Nothing to be ashamed of in that regard.”
In full, Romney‘s comments don’t look like he was making fun of Gingrich for tearing up and there’s no solid reason to assume he was.
Thanks to DIANARAE for helping set the record straight!

Posted on January 1, 2012 at 6:22amToo little too late Eddie. I don’t need more of this crap. I can get that just about anywhere. I have always trusted that The Blaze has done its homework before going into print. Glenn promised that. I don’t need a website that throws its spaghetti against the wall to see what sticks. I want complete honesty from The Blaze. Its what I’ve come to expect. Its what Glenn Beck promised. After all, what is the percentage of people who actually go back into a story to see if anything has been retracted? So, as far as I am concerned, retractions are pretty much useless, except that it covers the butt of the retractor. In this case, Eddie. Wake up Glenn. Stop this sort of thing before its too late.

Posted on December 31, 2011 at 3:09pmI am very happy that you followed up on a comment by a reader. Too many times I’ve seen incomplete or flat out mis-information on other news sites, even those that are not liberal, voiced my concern and sited the actual correct information. Only to have my comment lost in a sea of scrolling comments. This is why The Blaze is a top bookmark for me!
