Racism row hits Republican hopeful
Ron Paul under fire over controversial commentaries published under his name several years ago.
Published On 29 Dec 2011
Republican US presidential hopeful Ron Paul is facing fresh allegations of being racist and homophobic.
In the 1980s and ’90s, newsletters published under the congressman’s name included disparaging comments on minorities. But Paul says that he did not write the statements and denies holding those beliefs.
