COLUMBIA, S.C. — Many South Carolina Republicans got a bogus holiday greeting card last week, purported to be from White House hopeful Mitt Romney, that cites controversial passages of the Book of Mormon.
“We wish you and your family a happy holiday season and a joyful New Year. The Romney family,” the card says. The last page says, “Paid For By The Boston Massachusetts Temple.”
Romney’s campaign said it had nothing to do with the cards, postmarked Thursday from Columbia.
Boston Temple president Ken Hutchins said the temple had nothing to do with sending mail to South Carolina Republicans, who go to the polls Jan. 19.
“It is sad and unfortunate that this kind of deception and trickery has been employed,” said Will Holley, Romney’s South Carolina spokesman.
