Family of Romney’s Alleged Bully Victim Speaks Out: ‘The Portrayal of John Is Factually Incorrect’

May. 11, 2012 8:34am Billy Hallowell

Family of Romneys Alleged Bully Victim Speaks Out: We Are Aggrieved That He Would Be Used to Further a Political Agenda

On Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was accused of attacking a student whom he believed to be gay during his prep school years. Although Romney claimed to have no memory of the incident, he apologized on Thursday for the “dumb things” he did back in high school. But now, the family of the purported victim is speaking up and slamming the story as a political ploy.

Christine Lauber, the older sister of Romney’s classmate, John Lauber, claims she has no knowledge of the bullying incident involving her brother, who passed away from liver cancer in 2004. When ABC News showed Christine the story, she became agitated and somewhat emotional.

“Even if it did happen, John probably wouldn’t have said anything,” she said. “If he were still alive today, he would be furious [about the story].”

Betsy, another sister, spoke up about the incident as well. Aside from stating that the portrayal of her brother is inaccurate, she said the family is frustrated that the story is being used to push a political agenda.

“The family of John Lauber is releasing a statement saying the portrayal of John is factually incorrect and we are aggrieved that he would be used to further a political agenda,” she said. “There will be no more comments from the family.”

As The Blaze originally reported, the accusation has been corroborated by Phillip Maxwell, a lawyer and a former classmate of the top GOP candidate. Others, too, have reportedly corroborated the tale. Here’s the original story, as reported by The Washington Post:

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 teenaged son of Michigan Gov. George Romney, kept complaining about Lauber’s look, Friedemann recalled.

A few days later, Friedemann entered Stevens Hall off the school’s collegiate quad to find Romney marching out of his own room ahead of a prep school posse shouting about their plan to cut Lauber’s hair. Friedemann followed them to a nearby room where they came upon Lauber, tackled him and pinned him to the ground. As Lauber, his eyes filling with tears, screamed for help, Romney repeatedly clipped his hair with a pair of scissors.

Over on Breitbart.com, the Washington Post was accused of inflating witness testimony in reporting on the bullying story. According to the news site, the original article read:

“I always enjoyed his pranks,” said Stu White, a popular friend of Romney’s who went on to a career as a public school teacher and has long been bothered by the Lauber incident.

Then, in an interview on ABC News, Breitbart.com notes that White railed against this notion. The ex-classmate apparently said that he wasn’t at the school when the prank unfolded and that he only found out about it a few weeks ago. This, of course, calls into question the notion that White was bothered by the incident for a long time (after all, he just learned about it).

Breitbart.com charges that the Post, after falsifying the testimony, made a correction within the article, which now reads:

“I always enjoyed his pranks,” said Stu White, a popular friend of Romney’s who went on to a career as a public school teacher and said he has been “disturbed” by the Lauber incident since hearing about it several weeks ago, before being contacted by The Washington Post. “But I was not the brunt of any of his pranks.” [emphasis added]

While this says little about whether the incident actually unfolded as some witnesses claim, it is noteworthy that the Post purportedly added to the story. It is here, using this example, that many will certainly claim bias.

Romney, of course, has apologized for hurting anyone during his high school years, but aside from not remembering the aforementioned incident, he has said that those years are far behind him. Since the allegations came to light, the Romney campaign has worked diligently to expel the implications that the candidate was a bully during his teen years.

“Mitt was a thoughtful guy with a great sense of humor who cared about his classmates. He had a good perspective on how to balance all the pressures high school students face,” said Richard Moon, a former classmate, in a statement released by the campaign. “He would never go out and do anything mean spirited. Clownish, yes. Never mean.”

Ex-classmate John French echoed this sentiment in the release as well, stating, ”Mitt never had a malicious bone in his body – trying to imply or characterize him as a bully is absurd.”

The scandal over the purported bullying incident came just one day after President Barack Obama announced his support for same-sex marriage. Naturally, some are questioning the timing of this story as it pertains to the aforementioned announcement.

This story has been updated.

Well, he might ” composite” here and there….and maybe ” pick” his facts…..

  So at the end of the day we have spin blogs funded by wealthy zealots on both sides of the political spectrum that produce infinite amounts of BS either accusing or defending. No interest in the truth, no concern for the truth. The only truth that seems to matter is that which supports the reader’s ideological inertia. We truly have become a country where it is all about the money. GB and Rush feed the angry mob for one and only one reason….. MONEY. As do the similar jokers on the left.

  This is a dirty lie printed by a paper known for lies based on the liberal gay socialist agenda of its reporters. This is the kind of CRAP that has many loathing the media and their inability to just report the news without spin or agenda. I think freedom of the press is great as long as they the media respect that freedom and not use it for their own means.

  This whole thing is just too stupid. How many of us did things during our school years? I remember yet, getting into a fight with some kid named Fisher when in the 6th grade and getting into trouble over it.
  What bothers me most are the lies from the White House on a constant basis. I’ve been getting a good idea of lies vs truth from Google in last few months, in fact it’s all falling into line with what I’ve suspected. You rebuild a past when you’re ashamed of it, or you rebuild it to deceive the public.
  Lie to me once, shame on me, lie constantly and shame on you.

Most can say they never dealt drugs in H.S. ,Barry can’t say that though. If we’re going to get all of Romney’s past sins out there for everyone to see, then I sure hope the Republicans are ready to get down in the gutter too ,cause something tells me that “Dear Leader’s ” sins are much greater and much more plentiful.

  If you are going to make a point, try using correct spelling and grammar. You should know better than to copy and paste your talking points from the DNC website. Obama has closed many more factories than Romney with his economic policies…not to mention forcing small businesses to close or over regulating to the point where companies are never able to get off the ground.
  
  As for rich prep school brats, are you referring to Obama’s children? You seem to take issue with how he is raising his own children of privilege since it’s very similar to how Romney was raised except for the future government paid abortions they may get.

He died of liver cancer in 2004 and cannot speak for himself.
  
  The sisters of the purported “victim” have said the incident was a fabrication, it never happened. One of the five individuals named in the article noted as being there when this imaginary incident took place has said he wasn’t there.

Who says money can’t buy everything? Who would refuse couple millions to make up or change a 50 plus year ago story with no proof whatsoever ( not the original college transcript or birth certificate filed away in some secret places )

  Just in case you missed it ENCIDIOT..
  
  How can Romney’s school friend Stu White tell the Washington Post that he has “long been bothered by the Lauber incident” – and then later admit to ABC News that he was “not present for the prank” and “was not aware of it until this year when he was contacted by the Washington Post”?
  
  So ENCIDIOT..CAN YOU READ?
  
  David Murray of Automobile Magazine has an article coming out in the June 2012 edition about Romney’s youth and interviewed some of the same people the WaPo is quoting:
  
  The interview offers: [...] Maxwell giving crucial details notably missing from the Post piece: “’I’m a Democrat, so I won’t vote for him,’ says Maxwell. ‘But he’d probably make a pretty good President. He’s very smart, very principled.’”
  
  Gosh ENCIDIOT..the one guy you tried to tell me I didn’t know about has admitted he wont’ be voting for Romney and is a democrat. CAN YOU READ?
  
  Maxwell goes on..“‘He’s (Romney) determined to claim the highest office in the land–to be the first Mormon to do it. He keeps that undercover because he doesn’t want to frighten people.’”.
  
  The only person named in the WaPo article that “corroborates” the “story” has an interest in seeing Romney not become president. CAN YOU READ?

  YET, they can’t come up with info about Obama’s REAL past. How dam convenient isn’t it? So, they’re building up a fairy tale past to make the unintelligent believers fawn all over him.
  
  If you libs like believing fairy tales and out & out lies, go for it. As for me and my house, we will Serve the Lord and stick with the truth. God help America overcome this deceitfulness against us.
  
  BTW: I just hear Bill Clinton (in his own words) say what’s going on is a Fairy Tale ( that was when his wife was running against Barry) It’s all ok now though.

  Stop letting the ohter guys “control the conversation.” Igorne their barbs and go forward with what the conservative side wants people to know. We are right, we are winning and we will WIN!!! The “real people” of the U.S., black white or “purple” are intelligent, thinkers and will listen, especially when things they are being fed don’t make sense.
  
  Hold to truth, control the conversation and let them point fingers whereever. The more they point at others, the more they point out “O”‘s failings, holes, lies, and agendas!

This is exactly why, media and politics disgust those of US who know the difference between ploys and truisms. Media is a gossip cesspool, and those who feed it, the waste. Do I really care what Romney or Obama did in their teens, as long as it wasn’t cruel and unusual? Why can’t you goons in media stay on the issues? I’ll tell you why, because you know how easy it is to divert the majority of the public’s attention. You are deviates…pure and simple. for my part, I have never felt so much contempt for any medium, and the miscreants who represent it.

I did some stupid things in 1965 too, like routinely poop in my pants, of course I was a baby at the time but apparently insignificant things we may have done almost 50 years ago matters to so many people I feel I have to get this off my chest. I have done a lot of growing since then and am sorry for any distress I may have caused. That is just about as dumb as this whole business about Romney. I don’t think he did what he is being accused of, but even if he did, he was a kid. Let it go, if you have to look that far to dig up dirt it should be better dirt.

  I’ll bet if the Democrap operatives dig deep enough they’ll find out that Romney kicked his mother before he was born, while she was pregnant with him.
  
  Digging for dirt on a rather straight forward man is going to be hard to do. But I’m sure they won’t let that stop them. They’ll make up all sorts of lies if they have to. How desparate do you have to be to go back to someone’s high school days looking for dirt on them?

What, Romney cut a kids **** 50 years ago? That’s it, I’m voting for Obama!
You know what else I heard? Romney smoked weed and got drunk in high school, oh wait, that was Obama. But Romney snorted coke in college, oh wait, that was Obama. But Romney attended a anti-American, anti-white church for 20 years. Oh wait, that was Obama. But Romney was best friends with a known terrorist and bomber who killed a police officer. Oh wait, that was Obama too. But I heard that Romney hates Jews, hates Isreal and supports the Plaestinians and Muslem Brotherhood. Oh wait, that is Obama. Hold on a second, I heard Romney is a communist who hates America and the free enterprise system that has made us the richest most prosperous country in the history of the planet. Oh wait……..
Wow, maybe cutting some kids **** wasn’t all that bad after all.

  But didn’t Romney say that he . . . oh . . . that was also O’numbnuts. Knowing Mitt’s dad, if he had ever done anything like that, his dad would’ve put his foot so far up Mitt’s rectum, that they would’ve had to go to the hospital, one; to repair Mitt’s bruised and broken ****, and two; to surgically remove George’s foot. I can’t even begin to describe what his mother would’ve done.

  TURTLEMAN: That was very good analogy. We get fluffy dirt on Romney (kinda like most things we all did) and get a big fat ZERO on all the things Barry did, including……………let someone else tell it.
  
  So many holes in Barry’s life, it makes me believe all the ugly things I read & hear about him because they try to suppress all of it and make up the rest that’s mostly lies.

this is more projection from obama. blacks are known to do this sort of stuff. at this point i don’t beleive anything the msm says about anything so they’re just spinning their wheels as far as i’m concerned… but i do hope romney can turn this around as he has been able to do. it’s been a great show so far.. and obama keeps getting the short end of the stick.. get ‘em mitt…

  This attack has been planed for some time.
  First Biden then Obama now Pelosi.
  
  An now a story about Mitt Romney attacking a gay kid
  50 years ago an 5 Collaborating Witness’s (All Democrats)
  this did not happen overnight.
  It took time for Axlerod to find these people an get their statements.
  (Think Herman Cain) this is just the begining of the Chicago Style
  Attacks Obama has ready for Mitt Romney.

anyone find it strange that EVERYONE that may have information about his life, or information about a topic he brings up or his stooges bring up ( such as this one brought up by the ” media” ) IS DEAD ????

THIS POOR BOY……………………..DEAD FROM CANCER cant deny or agree

breitbart

brightbarts doctor

brightbarts eyewitness of him collapsing

3 gay guys from his past ( TWO of them from his church )

and the list goes on , pretty much anyone that could potentially have some pertinent information

Characterizing him as a bully (45 years ago) is the most juicy tidbit they can find? What? can’t they find any quotes of him ‘doin’ a little blow’?

  Knowing the standard character assassination investigations of the Democrats and the months they’ve had to dig up muck on Romney, seems the old dog tale and this is all ? Must have sorely disappointed them…..

Strange how the media can pursue a story like this and let a story like Larry Sinclair stay in hiding, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MceFVpJ-Gyc simply amazing that the public would let the liberal media get away with this kind of propaganda. Looks like the old Nazi days.

Are you freaking serious? What utter BS. Now you know why good people that could be great Presidents want nothing to do with the PC, skeleton in the closet BS that happened to them decades ago when they were growing up. If America wants a saint for President, Romney is probably the closet they will get, but apparently it is not. The new criteria for being President . . . being able to walk on water.

  Guess that’s why the Democrats , like Al, Barack, and Jesse are stirring up their anger ! ( Reminds me of the housing collapse : Democrats play the Discrimination Card and have ACORN bully bankers for loans to ” minorities and the poor;” then when the loans can’t be paid , the Democrats Blame the banks ! Such a clever way to destroy capitalism AND to stir up your angry base ! Oh, our Far Left Democrats are 99% crafty ! Oh, yes they are. )

Can we please talk about the issues facing this country. This is childish and detrimental to those of us trying to survive under the policies of the current administration. Mr. Romney, please specifically state how you will fix the economy and move back to a Constitutional Republic and let’s move on.

  I don’t know what I believe with the delegates. I know the media lies and I have hopes. I expect that if my side is right they’ll change the rules… you know like saying the delegates from NV won’t be seated at the convention.

But he said I had the power here to split up the Conservatives based on MY rhetoric… lmao. Not that Ron Paul doesn’t attempt to split anyone ever??

  I don’t care if RP will never be president. (well, I’d like him to be, sure) What I care about is this sham of a two-party system, and I’m afraid I won’t stop speaking out against it until they haul my ass off to FEMA camp. You say Romney is significantly better, I say he’s the same. We could debate that if you want, but you know I’m right. You can take solace that the lefties don’t like it when I tell them Romney is the same as their boy either.

  First off, you have to define your term “civil liberties.” If you define it as “rights,” then our rights are defined in the Constitution, and I’m certain that Romney supports every one of them. If you define “civil liberties” as things that you BELIEVE people ought to be able to do, then there is plenty of room for dissention. If you are referring to the recent discussion of homosexual marriage, then I fail to see how society not endorsing the subject (no, it is not a right!) infringes on freedom. In this country, gay people are able to cohabitate, to leave their property ot oneanother, and raise children together. Society simply will not abide by elevating their relationships to the same level as marriage.
  This is just another example of using a phrase that evokes an emotional response to avoide having to substantiate your position. Much like using the term “bigot,” using the terms “civil liberties” and “freedom” is designed to shut down discussion.

  OK tell me what Romney thinks about my Constitutional right, under the 5th amendment, to a trial judged by my piers. How the Patriot Act is compatible with our 4th amendment rights. How the TSA, DHS, etc aren’t vilolations of our 10th amendment. How the tough gun laws in MA, which “he supports” aren’t a violation of the 2nd amendment…. You can play with words all you like, but you know I’m right.
