Brian] Schweitzer said Romney would have a “tall order to position Hispanics to vote for him,” and I replied that was mildly ironic since Mitt’s father was born in Mexico, giving the clan a nominal claim to being Hispanic. Schweitzer replied that it is “kinda ironic given that his family came from a polygamy commune in Mexico, but then he’d have to talk about his family coming from a polygamy commune in Mexico, given the gender discrepancy.” Women, he said, are “not great fans of polygamy, 86 percent were not great fans of polygamy. I am not alleging by any stretch that Romney is a polygamist and approves of [the] polygamy lifestyle, but his father was born into [a] polygamy commune in Mexico.”]]>Thu, 19 Apr 2012 23:00:51 -0400<![CDATA[Tina Korbe]]>https://hotair.com/headlines/2012/04/19/montana-governor-remember-mitt-romneys-family-came-from-a-polygamy-commune-in-mexico-n91799
