Utah Sen. Mitt Romney joined a group of protesters Sunday near the White House, becoming the latest politician to rally in the wake of the death of George Floyd and one of the most prominent Republicans.
While marching, Romney told an NBC reporter, „We need a voice against racism. We need many voices against racism and against brutality. We need to stand up and say that black lives matter.“
The former Republican presidential candidate reiterated those comments to a Washington Post reporter. He also tweeted two pictures of himself, wearing a mask, at the protest. One shows him walking with the protesters. The other is a selfie. The photos are captioned, „Black Lives Matter.“
NBC and The Washington Post reported the protest Romney joined was a march of nearly 1,000 Christians near the White House.
