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

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.

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.

Posted on May 11, 2012 at 2:30pmJust 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”?

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.’”.

Report Post »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 hair wasn’t all that bad after all.

Posted on May 11, 2012 at 10:30amBut 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 butt, and two; to surgically remove George’s foot. I can‘t even begin to describe what his mother would’ve done.

Posted on May 11, 2012 at 12:09pmTURTLEMAN: 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.

Posted on May 11, 2012 at 8:51amthis 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…

Posted on May 11, 2012 at 8:47amAre 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.

Posted on May 11, 2012 at 9:33amGuess 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. )

Posted on May 11, 2012 at 8:44amCan 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.

Posted on May 11, 2012 at 10:07amWhat I’m telling you is that R.P. is never going to be POTUS! We have a choice between two men in THIS election. Neither is the man I would pick, but one IS significantly better than the other.

Posted on May 11, 2012 at 11:25amI 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.

Posted on May 11, 2012 at 8:41amOK you defended your boy on bullying. Can you find someone who can tell us his stance on Civil Liberties is compatible with freedom?
Report Post »Wolf73b
Posted on May 11, 2012 at 8:57amFirst 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.
Report Post »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.

Posted on May 11, 2012 at 9:28amOK 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.
