VIDEO: Belmont's Grant Bennett Speaking At the RNC

Long-time Belmont resident , friend of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, addressed the 2012 Republican National Convention on Thursday, Aug. 30 in Tampa, Florida. 

Bennett told Republican delegates at the GOP convention that Romney had "a listening ear and a helping hand." He said Romney devoted as many as 20 hours a week at his own expense to the church and their good works.

C-SPAN covered his remarks live, as part of their gavel-to-gavel coverage of both conventions.
