Earlier today, Mitt Romney delivered a speech attacking Donald Trump as a dangerous phony and urging voters to support any of the other Republican candidates in an effort to prevent Trump from winning the GOP nomination.

Predictably, the speech is not sitting well with extremist anti-immigration activist William Gheen of ALIPAC, who endorsed Trump earlier this week. Gheen was so outraged that he fired off a press release accusing Romney of symbolically invoking “the name of [Ronald] Reagan’s would-be assassin” in his attack on Trump.

You see, Romney delivered his speech at the University of Utah’s Hinckley Institute of Politics, which was named after “20th century pioneer, a philanthropist, an entrepreneur” Robert H. Hinckley.

“Hinckley” also happens to be the last name of John Hinckley, Jr., who shot President Ronald Reagan in 1981 … and to Gheen, the fact that Romney delivered his speech at the Hinckley Institute was an attempt to “symbolically insert the name of Reagan’s would-be assassin” into his attack on Trump while standing in front of “a blood red field most similar to the flags of communist nations”:
