Mitt Romney has become the first known Republican senator to march in protest against police mistreatment of minorities, turning out at a peaceful rally in Washington, DC.

Mr Romney, who represents Utah, posted a tweet showing him wearing a mask as he walked with Black Lives Matter protesters on Sunday.

Mr Romney, who was walking with a Christian group, told NBC News he needed to be there.

“We need a voice against racism, we need many voices against racism and against brutality,” he said.

Governor of Michigan

On Saturday, Mr Romney tweeted a photo of his father George, who was governor of Michigan from 1963 to 1969, marching with civil rights protesters in a Detroit suburb in the 1960s.

Meanwhile, National Guard troops from South Carolina were seen checking out of their hotel in Washington DC on Sunday soon before President Donald Trump tweeted he was giving the order to withdraw them from the capital.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
