Back in the United States, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney entered the presidential race Tuesday, announcing he would seek the Republican nomination. Romney’s choice to kick off his campaign from the Henry Ford Museum outside Detroit was immediately criticized due to Ford’s history of anti-Semitism. National Jewish Democratic Council executive director Ira Forman said, “Romney has been traveling the country talking about inclusiveness and understanding of people from all walks of life. Yet he chooses to kick (off) his presidential campaign on the former estate of a well-known and outspoken anti-Semite and xenophobe.”
