Hughes rejects Romney brainwashing claim on Vietnam trip
Iowa Governor Harold E. Hughes publicly disagreed with Michigan Governor George Romney's assertion that Romney was brainwashed during the November 1965 Vietnam visit by nine governors. Hughes said the briefing was detailed, impartial, and no evidence of brainwashing existed. He noted the situation in Vietnam now differs but believes entry factors remain unchanged. He has no plan to return to Vietnam and hints a future Senate run could benefit from another trip. Johnson’s broader briefing of governors was seen as a positive step.
