Romney says Trump calling news media 'enemy of the people' hurts democracy, freedom
Deseret News ^ | 11/1/2018 | Dennis Romboy

Mitt Romney can’t "conceive of thinking or saying" the news media is an enemy as President Donald Trump continues to do, according to an essay he posted on his campaign website Thursday.

Romney wrote that someone asked him at a recent campaign event whether he would “take action to shut down ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and the New York Times.”

"When I responded ‘of course not,’ and that, in fact, I would do everything in my power to preserve freedom of speech, the person persisted by arguing that these outlets purvey fake news," the Republican U.S. Senate candidate said.

Romney had to look into a hat full of magic rocks to come up with that one.

He's such a loser he couldn't beat a feckless idiot like 0bama, in a down economy, less than two months after a terror attack on our Embassy, in which our Ambassador was brutally murdered.

Myth Romney makes Low T Yeb! look like Jon Rambo.

Romney is such a sanctimonious girly man he refuses to bother to understand anything he is discussing. This witless wonder needs to lock himself away in the cathedral until it is time for him to become a god.

You are spot on in your assessment of Romney.

Not only did he make a speech but it was a nasty, sore loser, whining, below the belt tirade. Mitt must have soiled his funny underwear!

I still feel that he showed no class and don’t think that he will be much of a senator. Better he stay away from politics, there are enough losers there already.

Would Bishop-Carpetbagger Willard RomneyCARE
actually go door-to-door
so that he could put down President Trump secretly
to his captive flock?

What is the likelihood that that the MSM captured the
tour just this week, and like a mockingbird it ended
up on all programming channels for backstabber RomneyCARE?

While I dont think it hurts Democracy and Freedom, I dont like that particular phrase “The enemy of the people”. Its too loaded in my view, but I know I am in a minority of one here probably, LOL. I still hate the media though.

OK, Let’s correct the record: “The mainstream media AND RINO losers like Mitt Romney are enemies of the American people.” Is that better?

Romney makes me wanna puke! Yet another loser I wouldn’t piss on if he were on fire.
