Romney on Thursday was forced to defend himself in the wake of the Post story, saying he doesn’t remember the hair-cutting incident but also conceding he “did some dumb things” in high school.

“If anyone was hurt by that or offended by that, obviously, I apologize,” Romney said on the “Kilmeade & Friends” radio show. “But overall, high-school years were a long time ago.”
