Romney calls on Steve King to resign after comments on white supremacy
The Hill ^ | January 14, 2019

Posted on 01/14/2019 3:53:32 PM PST by SMGFan

Newly-elected Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Monday called for conservative Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) to resign from the House because of his remarks questioning whether white supremacy is "offensive." “I think he ought to step aside and I think Congress ought to make it very clear he has no place there,” Romney told CNN’s Manu Raju on Monday.

A spokeswoman for Romney confirmed the statement. Romney is the latest high-profile Republican voice to condemn King’s comments made in an interview with The New York Times in which he said, “white nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?”

“Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and civilization?” he said.

For the crime of asking when a particular form of comment became illegal? Mittens should be the one to resign for being a dumbass.

Romney’s a disgrace to Mormons and non-Mormons alike. He’s vile...at best.

What does Romney want? Praise from Democrats for undermining Republicans?

I call on Mittens to formally change his party affiliation to Democrat. For one thing, he’s much more in tune with their party symbol.

Romney is NOT the leader of the Republican Party. Shut up, Mitt. The only people listening are the left and they only do it for bias reinforcement

I haven’t been keeping up with this. Has anyone come out and said, “look, you bunch of wankers, I said language, as in words, as in how did the words become offensive”?
