In 2012, reports surfaced that the father of Senator-elect Mitt Romney (“R”-Utah), “palled around” with radical leftist organizer Saul Alinsky.
According to (https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/buzzfeedpolitics/mitt-romneys-father-palled-around-with-saul-a) T. George Harris’ biography of the late Governor George Romney of Michigan:
“When slum organizer Saul Alinsky, with the West Side Organization’s militant Negroes and clerics, wanted to meet with the white Detroit rulers, Romney indirectly arranged the meeting, and attended. Democratic Mayor Jerome Cavanaugh avoided the rough company.”
“‘I think you ought to listen to Alinsky,'” Romney told his reluctant white friends. ‘It seems to me that we are always talking to the same people. Maybe the time has come to hear new voices.” Said an Episcopal bishop, ‘He made Alinsky sound like a Republican.
A photo of the Sept. 1967 meeting was obtained by BuzzFeed from the Library of Congress (https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2016719045/):
