Washington Post Under Fire for Romney Bully Story

The Washington Post on Friday found itself the subject of growing criticism for running an article on Mitt Romney’s high school pranks, including one in which he allegedly hacked off a fellow student's long, bleached hair while the boy was being held down by school bullies.

The Post piece implied that the Romney incident had haunted the student, John Lauber. Thirty years later he bumped into a witness to the event and described it as "horrible."

Lauber died of liver cancer in 2004. His family attacked the article. His sister Christine told ABC News that she knew nothing about the bullying incident and that the story had factual inaccuracies.

“If he were alive today, he would be furious,” she said. “Even if it did happen, John probably wouldn’t have said anything.”

Betsy Lauber, another of John’s sisters, said the family was upset the incident, that allegedly happened 47 years ago in 1965, from is being used to further a political agenda.
