[VIDEO] July 14, 1964 | George Romney Speaks at Republican National Convention

July 14, 1964 - At the Republican National Convention in San Francisco tonight, Michigan Governor George Romney advocated a platform amendment condemning political extremism. However, Romney did not name the John Birch Society or any other group in his remarks, as Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York had previously.

Nevertheless, Romney’s impassioned speech, warning of serious consequences to the party if it ignores the threat of extremism, failed to change the result.

Another standing vote resulted in another rejection of the amendment.
