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.

Thanks Mitt, because I’m very interested in the opinions of losers.

No, Milt, what hurts democracy is when Democrats refuse to accept the result of a democratic election just because they lost.

Tecumseh Sherman wanted all journalists shot because they kept reporting to the enemy. After more than 100 years, nothing’s changed...they’re all anti America.

Yeah, rolling over and letting the Democrat win and treat you and your supporters like garbage is what’s really good for democracy and freedom.

“People in UT seem confused with the state of national affairs”

Utah is its own little planet stuck in the middle of nowhere and not really connected to the rest of the country.

From SLC it’s 800 mi to SFO and 500 Mi to Denver, with almost nothing in between. LA is an 8 hour drive.

So they start believing that all they see around them is all there is, and Big Fish in a Small Pond like Romney and Egg McMuffin run grandiose campaigns for national office that show they mainly have delusions of grandeur.

The other 300 million people in the country simply laugh at such silliness from a rump population.

Anyone have a muzzle for this dog?

Just throw him up on the roof with the skis and the tent poles.

What's not to love about President Donald Trump? He's a rebel who is teaching people to open their eyes and ears and not blindly accept the indoctrination of the MSM press. Decades ago young people would call him a revolutionary for pulling the curtain aside on the swamp-masters, and show how much of what is called "reporting" is actually lies, cover-ups and deceit.

Mitt Romney, move aside and let this hero of a man Trump expose the lies of the MSM and lead the people to think for themselves and not blindly accept what they hear from CNN and other liars. If the MSM would report the truth, then Trump's job would be done. As long as the MSM makes up fake news, President Trump is the only one exposing them. Should be called President Trumpet! Hear him roar!

I feel compelled to post the same response I post in Romney threads these days: How I hate this RINO POS.

Shut up, Mitt.

This is one Republican no one should vote for. He is a public nuisance.
