"They were LINED UP, taking turns..!"

Me yesterday:
I shall hold off further comment until more facts are known.
No such circumspection stayed Utah Senate candidate Mitt Romney, who reacted instantly to the "suspicious packages" mailed to the Clintons, Obama, George Soros, CNN and others, and weighed in with boundless confidence:
Hate acts follow hate speech. It is past time for us to turn down and tune out the rabid rhetoric.
This is a nitwit statement even by Mitt's recent standards, and doubtless a preview of the role he intends to play in the Senate. It is also an object lesson in the perils of Tweet-speed insight. "Moderate" "reasonable" "centrists", like all other politicians, should take a deep breath and be mindful of the old adage: Don't just say something, stand there.
"Hate speech" is not a notion a supposedly "severe conservative" (as Mitt once styled himself) would sign on to. "Hate speech" is free speech - because the concept of free speech exists for the speech you hate. In the modern world, "hate speech" is the enforcement arm of identity politics: Once an approved victim group is designated - Muslims, transgenders - "hate speech" is a pseudo-legal concept for shutting people up: Unpersuaded by the benefits of mass Muslim immigration? Concerned that seven-year-olds should not be hustled into "transitioning"? Hate speech, hate speech, hate speech...

Once a Deep State Never Trumper, always a DS Never Trumper.
We shall have to put up with him as a senator now, and likely, for the next 18 years. He will be 88 then.
It is hard to believe he is such a reliably Progressive idiot.
Maybe President Trump will be able to transplant some spine and testicular fortitude.
You would think Romnuts would get tired being so wrong so often?
Hmmm..wonder how they maintain power?
"They were LINED UP, taking turns..!"
Mittins still trying to figure out why he lost to bammy in 2012.
Milt sux.
I didn't know that anything, no matter how stupid, could qualify as a nitwit statement by Mitt's standards. Romney must have smartened up recently if Mark Steyn's assessment is true.
(Thanks for posting.)
Here’s the quote that made me LOL:
“So, if the elites want more Trump, more Brexit, more populism, telling the masses to shut up pretty much ensures they’re going to get it.”
Nothing like the truth for humor.
Flake’s replacement I see. Different state, but same flake.
Is that real???
Looks like a grocery store bag boy...
I have to admit Romney’s not the only politico I once throught was pretty decent. His throwing the 2012 election to the illegal immigrant in chief — cured me of that misapprehension.
I have been SOOO enjoying John McCain’s death!
It has been so restfull to NOT have a dim-bulb “Republican” Senator that the Democrat Media could always count on to put his foot in his own mouth or attack his own party.
I am counting the days, however. I fully expect that when the preening-parakeet, Romney, enters the US Senate, he’s going to twitch once and McQueeg’s reincarnation will be complete.
We would be better off without Romney.
Romney must think he will get residuals for his performance in throwing the election for Barack. What a complete tool.
