At an event in New York City Tuesday with former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney said he would have made the same call President Obama made a year ago when he ordered the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. “Of course I would have ordered taking out Osama bin Laden,” Romney said. 

“This is a person who had country done terrible harm to America and represented a continual threat,” Romney said. “Had I been president of the United States I would have made the same decision to remove him.”

Earlier today, Romney said that “any thinking America would have ordered the exact same thing.”

Here is video of the event:
