Grant Bennett

8:35: Bennet just quoted the “as you have done to the least of these, so have you done to me” line from Christ in the New Testament. Paul Ryan’s budget takes two-thirds of its cuts out of programs that support the poor. Romney’s plan is even worse.

8:33: Bennett is discussing Romney’s time as a Bishop in the Mormon Church. During that period, he allegedly threatened a single mother with excommunication if she didn’t put up her baby for adoption.

8:30: Grant Bennett succeeded Romney as a bishop of a Mormon meetinghouse. Yet his presence undermines the convention’s “We Built This” message: Bennett is the president of CPS Technologies, a company that’s received millions of dollars worth of government funds.
