Can you explain to the audience your reaction to the visa issued to the Ayatollah


Hugh Hewitt: Can you explain to the audience your reaction to the visa issued to the Ayatollah?

 

Governor Mitt Romney: Well, first of all, I think it's an outrage that in this season of memory of those that lost their lives, that we would be inviting someone who is a terrorist to this country, and that in particular, this person would be invited to Harvard to come speak on the topic of tolerance. It's outrageous, and for that reason, I have instructed our state agencies, and particularly our executive office of public safety not to provide any support whatsoever for his visit. And that means not to provide the escort and security personnel which would normally be associated with a person of interest of this nature. And it may well lead to them reassessing whether they want to come to Harvard. I certainly hope so.
