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.

I just can’t believe I belong to a party that has Romney in it. Why don’t we have standards?

“If Mittens is being counted on as a “reliable” Republican vote...”

I doubt that Romney is a reliable conservative vote, but, genius, it is the Senate majority leader that is one that controls who is voted on.

“What a breathtakingly arrogant thing to say...”

No, not at all. The Senate Majority leader is vital in selecting candidates to fill vacancies, and the number of Republicans has a bearing on who that is.

You get rid of Romney and a few fellow travelers and the Senate reverts to democrat control.

I’m not sure what the the worst of these so called religions - Mormons, Muslims or Scientology. All of them to me are cults. All of them are crazy and they are out to destroy America.

Apparently, Mitt “I voted for my wife even if that means Madame Presidente and her SCOTUS” Romney does not agree. How about you direct your fire at him instead of the good folks on Main Street who elected POTUS?

You are operating on an old paradigm, friend. When the GOP threw in with the treasonous Mueller Coup this country changed. Forever.

That is me. Why would I direct fire at myself?

"( Please refrain from inappropriate comments toward Mormons )"

Not all Mormons are Mitt Romney's, but so far, all the Mitt Romney's are Morons.

I would not be surprised to see his term end early or to switch party.

BTW, Kasich just signed on with a Hollywood talent agency today."
