Park City, Utah (CNN) — Mitt Romney suggested Friday that Donald Trump's election could legitimize racism and misogyny, ushering in a change in the moral fabric of American society.
The 2012 Republican nominee, who has openly opposed Trump's candidacy, went further than he has before in outlining to CNN's Wolf Blitzer how the country's character would suffer in a Trump White House. Trump's rhetoric has caused even some other Republicans to label him a racist, and Romney said he would not be able to paper over his incendiary remarks.
"I don't want to see trickle-down racism" Romney said in an interview here in a suite overlooking the Wasatch Mountains, where he is hosting his yearly ideas conference. "I don't want to see a president of the United States saying things which change the character of the generations of Americans that are following. Presidents have an impact on the nature of our nation, and trickle-down racism, trickle-down bigotry, trickle-down misogyny, all these things are extraordinarily dangerous to the heart and character of America."
Romney, who actively sought to recruit an independent, third-party challenger to Trump, also conceded that a credible candidate will not emerge. But he did show a new openness to one non-Trump candidate, libertarian Gary Johnson, whom he did not rule out voting for.

This is the guy I was told to hold my nose and vote for
Here is your answer next time they tell us to hold our noses. These RAT Quislings are so arrogant they do not realize they are now generals without an army.
Mittens is living proof of why losing candidates should neither be seen nor heard.
I voted for him despite his obvious inadequacies, he lead us down the path to defeat. For him to aid and abet the opposition like this is plainly perverse.
It’s not perverse. It’s treason. We have Americans like Kate laying dead in the street murdered by criminal aliens in Democrat sanctuary cities. Romney is campaigning for the Butcher of Benghazi and to see more dead Americans.
Why didn’t he attack Obama the way he attacks Trump? Why not point out that Hillary and Obama BOTH push racism? Black Lives Matter, anyone?
Obvious question and these “journalists” never ask it. That proves beyond a shadow of a doubt they are propagandists playing for Team Dem.
Just go away already..!
Yup.
Mitt phoned it in 2012. I’ve never heard him hit Obama below the belt the way he hit Trump.
This is a low even for Mitt.
Ctrl + Alt + FUMR
I would like to send an email to Quisling Romney voicing my opinion
FUMR.
Preibus better tell him to shut up or become the Democrat he really is formally.
On the contrary. Mitt Romney is doing this with the full approval of the RNC/GOPe. Nearly all the movers and shakers in the GOP establishment are at Mitt’s knee today in Utah for his confab. Ryan, Sasse, etc. Their presence at Romney’s event in Utah today shows that his campaigning for the Butcher of Benghazi is with their approval. Put that fact in your pipe and smoke it.
Romney is insane.
Romney = basturd.
When Romney was running for President, I had no idea he was such a scumbag. Trump’s running has been a shocking revelation. You can see who the establishment elites are by who is coming out of the shadows to attack Trump while leaving the truly dangerous ones — Obama and Hillary — utterly untouched.
He’s right/ Racism isn’t supposed to trickle down from the upper levels of society. It’s supposed to rise naturally from the lowest levels - the streets and the universities.
Mormons are as white bread as can be. They even used to teach that as dark skinned people repented their sins they would turn white. How many Black people are Mormon to this very day!? What gall this cretin his.
I agree. I never saw Romney direct that passion against Obama (and his was running for president) or Hillary and all her misdeeds that he has against Trump. I’d say he is a closet Democrat and Hillary supporter.
Mitt is starting a loser’s club with him as the sole member.
50k more votes for Trump. Keep talking, Mitt!
Nothing like being late to the party, Pal. You threw the game on the race when you balked on the Benghazi question, and now we have the RIC.
Romney/Ryan have tag teamed this racist meme. That January filing to run for President in 2016 was no joke.
This is their plan.
I’ll bet they’re being well paid for it, too.
