President Obama is "a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage" says Brad Pitt's mom in a letter to the Missouri newspaper Springfield New-Leader, urging Christians to vote for Republicna presidential candidate Mitt Romney despite potential ideological differences concerning his theology.
“Any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney’s opponent, Barack Hussein Obama — a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright’s church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage,” Pitt wrote.
Pitt's note was response to another writer’s post that was critical of Romney and Mormonism.
“I think any Christian should spend much time in prayer before refusing to vote for a family man with high morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality just because he is a Mormon,” she continued.
The Missouri newspaper first printed an editor's note denying any relation between the letter writer and movie star. That was later replaced with a second editor's note, reading, "To clear up earlier confusion, the News-Leader has verified the letter writer is the mother of actor Brad Pitt and local businessman Doug Pitt."
The newspaper initially included an editor’s note that denied that the writer was the mother of the famed actor. But, later, a new note was posted that proclaims that the paper confirmed this fact after all. It reads, ”To clear up earlier confusion, the News-Leader has verified the letter writer is the mother of actor Brad Pitt and local businessman Doug Pitt.”
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt probably won’t be too happy about this story considering their outspoken champion of gay marriage and President Barack Obama, but so far the super-star duo have not commented on the newspaper article.
