Mitt Romney’s criticism of the London Olympics in Great Britain led the nightly news show ‘BBC London’ on Thursday. The program reported on Romney’s uncomfortable visit with Prime Minister David Cameron after suggesting that the nation was unprepared to host the games, mocked his efforts to backpaddel those remarks and showed footage of London Mayor Boris Johnson mocking Romney before to tens of thousands of people in London’s Hyde Park:

Back at Downing Street [David Cameron] met US Presidental hopeful, Mitt Romney. Now it would have been understandable if all this had been a bit uncomfortable. Mr Romney, who ran the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City a decade ago, last night told a US reporter he had concerns about the London Games. [...]

But a chat with Mr Cameron later and Mitt Romney was rowing back faster than Sir Steve Redgrave. [...]

Tonight, in front of 60,000 people, gathered in Hyde Park to see the Olympic torch, the mayor turned his attention to Mitt Romney’s criticism.

Watch it:

Mitt Romney’s speech at the NAACP was defined in the media by the resounding chorus of boos he elicited from the crowd. Campaign staffers had a different interpretation, insisting that he received “thunderous applause over and over again.”

Reflecting this idea, the campaign’s new video targeting African American voters, “We Need Mitt Romney,” rewrites history by splicing together Romney’s speech with shots of a couple audience members nodding as if in agreement. While Romney received a polite standing ovation when he was done speaking, the video has been edited to make it seem like the audience rose to their feet to applaud him mid-speech.

In reality, Romney was booed multiple times, especially when he promised to repeal Obamacare. 95 percent of black voters went to President Obama in 2008 and it is highly unlikely Romney will be able to capture the historically progressive demographic. In fact, an NAACP official told MSNBC that the Romney campaign brought their own African American supporters to fill in the July 11 event. Romney himself admitted that he expected to be booed.

The campaign video also features four African Americans speaking to the camera. One woman declares: “We need in our next president someone who will be honest, open and transparent.”
