Mitt Romney: Trump Has Distanced Himself From ‘Humility,’ ‘Honesty, Integrity’
Breitbart ^ | May 19,2019 | Pam Key

Posted on 05/19/2019 4:22:33 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said he did not believe President Donald Trump’s actions as laid out in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report rise to the level of impeachment, but the president does not exhibit the “best qualities of human character.”

Host Jake Tapper asked if Trump has “disgraced the office of the president.”

Romney said, “I think a number of things were unfortunate and distressing. Clearly the number of times there were items of dishonesty, misleading the American public and media are things you would not be want to see from the highest office in the land.”

He continued, “Abuse of power is at a whole other level, which suggests impeachment. I think in part one of the things it’s difficult in order to make a case for obstruction of justice or impeachment, not an underlying crime, I think it’s difficult to put together an effective case to prosecute for those crimes.”

He added, “I’ve made it clear I will support the president on policies where we agree. I’ll disagree with him openly if there’s something I think is wrong for the country or for my state. But I think he could substantially improve his game when it comes to helping shape the character of the country. I think young people, as well as people around the world, look at the president of the United States and say, does he exhibit the kind of qualities we would want to emulate? And those are qualities of humility, of honesty, integrity, and those are things where I think there’s been some call where the president has distanced himself from some of the best qualities of the human character.”

I’m surprised Mutt can even spell those words. His character is the antithesis of them.

That’s a good point. Somebody should ask him if we should have voted for Felonia Von Pantsuit instead? What an idiot.

To my regret I supported McCain but by 2012 I could not support this weak idiot. The one great flaw of the GOP is there isn’t enough party discipline to control or boot out disloyal scum like this.

Romney needs to switch parties. He’s as despicable as any Dem scum.

Rank US presidents by humility.

Carter has to be #1. Off the top of my head, none of the other past US presidents makes the list.

I'll wager Mitt is trying to his face out there so he can challenge Trump for the Presidency again...
He calls himself a moderate you know... I call him something else...

All these people, including Romney keep making me think of the saying:

“It is better to stay silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.”

Translation: Trump stands and fights. Cries of (insert your favorite here)ism mean nothing to him because he works for the base, not the elites.

What the hell is this narrative that “Trump is dishonest”...?

“If you like your plan you can keep it.” ahhhh, nooo

“I did not have sex with that woman.” noooooo

Trump must have told a whopper somewhere to beat those beauties, but I must’ve missed it.

Dear Willard: you were a BIG FAT LOSER in 2012.

We are not interested in anything a LOSER like you has to say.

BTW, it’s extremely obvious that you are very jealous of our GREAT President Trump.

And, yet, it was Romney’s lack of honest and integrity that made GOP voters look to straight-shooting Trump.
