Mitt Romney: "You Sir, You're A Pretender"
September 25, 2007
Earlier, we examined how Hillary Clinton handles hecklers. This week we take a look at Mitt Romney. The video clip above is from a February 2007 appearance at the Lake Miona Regional Recreation Center in The Villages, Florida. Amongst the crowd of 800 people, one man stood up and accused Romney of being "a pretender", saying "You do not know da Lord... you're a Mormon".
The ultra-slick Romney chuckled and returned well-thoughtout statement about the importance of faith in America. The reply sounded so rehearsed that some speculated the heckler may have been planted in the audience so Romney could address the issue of his religion with public sympathy on his side.
Religious intolerance aside, the heckler in the video is great. His thick Chicago accent is remincient of Dan Acroyd's accent in The Blues Brother (see below) and his polite approach to heckling is endearing. After you watch the video, you may find yourself saying, "You sir... are a pretender." I said it to a lady friend yesterday when I found out the "grilled chicken" she served in my fajitas was actually baked. We laughed and laughed. It was great.
