2. Maybe this is too obscure.

Mitt Romney hired Richard Grenell to be his foreign affairs advisor and spokesperson not long ago.

When the right wing found out that Grenell is gay, they pressured Romney into firing him.

That firing happened just before the whole Chen Guangcheng incident happened.

Romney sharply criticized the Obama administration for not rescuing Chen from the evil Chinese.

The next day, a plan was negotiated with the Chinese government, so that Chen and his family would be able to come to the US and he could study at International University.

Romney waffled, and tried to lie his way out of the situation.

What would Richard Grenell have advised him to do? That's the question that can't be answered due to Romney's cave to the homophobic right.

Mitt Romney is not in any way qualified to be President.
