Josh Romney rescues family from crash, accused of humble brag

It seems like celebrities and others in the public eye still haven't mastered the art of tweeting. Or maybe the catch 22 of using the site still confuses some as to what is appropriate. Whatever it is, Mitt Romney's son is under fire for his Thanksgiving Day tweet.

A car sped by Josh Romney and his family on their way home and crashed into the kitchen of a home in Holladay, Utah. An adult male was in the home's basement when the car struck the house.

Romney took pride in rescuing four people from a car crash on Thanksgiving but his tweet after the incident has sparked some controversy.

After his act of heroism, Romney posted a photo of himself standing next to the overturned SUV, tweeting:

"Was first on scene to big accident, see pic of car in the house. I lifted 4 people out to safety. All ok. Thankful."

Romney is accused of what some are calling "humble bragging" as many took offense to the photo and the caption. Romney also posted the photo on his Facebook page.

He had this to say as well:

"My family and I are grateful that no one was seriously injured and glad to have been able to help those affected by this terrible accident. What I did to help the people involved in the accident is what anyone else would do who witnessed such a potentially dangerous situation."

Maybe taking a picture with the SUV was a little bit much but who doesn't want to be acknowledged for their good deeds.

What do you think? Are people overreacting over Josh Romney's photo and tweet?
