Ann Romney: electing a Mormon like electing an African-American, “leaving prejudices behind”
USA Today reports,
Ann Romney took her turn on Jay Leno’s couch last night, talking about her husband’s caring ways and his chance to make history as President Obama did four years ago.
“I love the fact that we have the first African-American president,” Romney said on The Tonight Show. ”That means to me that we’re leaving prejudices behind. I would hope that if Mitt were elected, we would see more of the same, that prejudices are left behind.”
Mitt Romney is the first major-party presidential nominee who is Mormon.
