Watch Mitt Romney Get Booed By NAACP
Only minutes after Mitt Romney finished speaking at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) conference on Wednesday, a video of the crowd booing the Republican presidential nominee had already made its way around the web.
Romney asserted that he would repeal non-essential programs that do not promote job growth, including President Obama's health care reform law, if elected.
