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.

Actual Trump tweet was:

"The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!"

He never said the "media" was the "enemy of the people." He said the "FAKE NEWS media."

Of course the FAKE NEWS media simply reported "media," implying ALL media. Trump did NOT say that. And RINO shills like Romney did exactly the same thing. FAKE NEWS Romney should go to the original source of his whining, and stop with propagating propaganda and deliberate misinterpretation of facts and original quotes.

You didn’t have much of a choice; it was either “secret, pink panties Mith” or the great and all knowing OBUNGHOLE.
It was truly a case of DAMNED IF YOU DO, DOUBLE DAMNED IF YOU DON’T.

Paul Ryan exits as the other Koch Industries puppet enters.  They are meant for each other.

Romney is another McCain, full of himself and no real conservative. He thinks he is president and that the rest of us should care what the hell he as to say. News Flash Romney — I for one don’t give a d—n what you have to say.

Mitt Romney is what you get when republicans get used to the taste of donkey dick & can’t remember a time that they didn’t like it.

True, we didn’t have anyone else, but I was foolish enough to believe that they were good men. I was proud to vote for them and I guess I am angrier at myself for being so gullible.
