Mitt Romney’s statement on the Charlottesville anniversary strikes a chord Trump cannot
Vox ^ | August 11, 2018 | Emily Stewart

Mitt Romney is calling on Americans to “categorically and consistently reject racism and discrimination” on the anniversary of racist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017 and on the eve of a repeat of the Unite the Right rally this year in Washington, DC. The former Massachusetts governor and current US Senate candidate in Utah issued a lengthy statement on Friday defending equality, steeped in his religious upbringing and belief that “we are all children of God.”

Romney, who ran against President Barack Obama as the 2012 Republican nominee for president, touched on a number of issues in his post. He weighed in on President Donald Trump’s equivocal reaction to the gathering of the alt-right and white supremacists in 2017, though he did not mention the president by name. He also suggested that it’s misguided to perceive pushes for equal opportunity by groups that have historically been discriminated against as grabs for a disproportionate share of the pie....

Romney is “Senate Voter #1” to impeach/convict President Trump if Mad Max has her way. God forbid. Romney may even vote “thumbs up” in homage to Romey’s buddy: He Who Shall Not Be Named.

Funny I don’t recall Mittens slamming Obama’s race baiting over Ferguson for the 5 Dallas cops murdered by a BLM activist.

Guess what, Mitt? Liberals aren’t going to like you anymore than they did in 2012.

I know it’s not popular on this site, but Trump would have to ask me to vote for Romney before I could do it. I’m pretty sure it would make me physically ill to do so, and once in office Romney would probably anger me more than a dem would.

I dislike this jackass and regret that I ever voted for him. I will not repeat my mistake.

I do not care what the loser has to say. I am so thankful he is not the president.

“The former Massachusetts governor and current US Senate candidate in Utah issued a lengthy statement on Friday defending equality, steeped in his religious upbringing and belief that “we are all children of God.””

This is really tiresome coming from “Bishop” Romney.

Mormon history isn’t exactly sterling when it comes to racism- blacks were discriminated against in the LDS until 1978- and that certainly was during the “religious upbringing” that he is boasting about.

It’s just more virtue signalling from a pious fraud who is always eager to indulge in it.

All Mittens does is keep alive the myth that President Trump is a racist. As for Mittens, he is dead wrong.

That’s a hard thing for me to say.

No, you are absolutely right. Votewise there will be little to no difference between this loser/scumbag/POS and a Democrat. I would rather an opposing vote came from our known opponents than supposedly from one of our own. In that respect I hope he loses the general and we make up for it elsewhere. Plus it will give me a lot of pleasure watching him lose (again).

I had to have two shots of bourbon to be able to hold my nose hard enough to vote for him in 2012.

Trump was not equivocal about attacking racism, with respect to Charlottesville. That is a lie put out by the media, using lies spoken by Dim politicians and the Left. What they wanted Trump to do, which Trump did not do, was to blame all the violence that day in Charlottesville on the so-called “alt-right” protesters. The Dims and the Left produced that hoax agenda about racism on Trump’s part to justify their own one-sided opinion on the violence.

“we are all children of God.”

That’s like Pelosi saying MS13 gangbangers have a spark of divinity in them.

“All Mittens does is keep alive the myth that President Trump is a racist. “

And I suspect that that’s ‘Bishop’ Romney’s number one motive.

The Petrushka chord is a frequently used polychord used in Igor Stravinsky's ballet Petrushka. These two major triads, C major and F# major - a tritone apart, these two chords clash when sounded together and create a dissonant chord. There are a number of ways to finger this chord on the guitar this inversion is up on the 8th fret.
