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.

Utah has gone PFFFT on America. RINO ROMNEY defines why R’s have lost half of Americans to MARX. No give-a-damn in sight, but for power godding themselves.

He’s right. We do not have a free and independent media. The entire spectrum of media is out and out leftist propaganda. The news media is owned by the democrats.

Who do they think they are kidding?

Throwing the election to socialist dictator Obama in the aftermath of the Benghazi fiasco hurts the democracy too.

This fraction of a man is disgusting. Blechhhhh!!!

If he had been elected we’d be in a Hillary presidency right now. So he did us a big favor by being an outrageously weak excuse for a republican

The media seeks to keep us divided. They are our enemies regardless of what the 2 time loser Mitt Romney has to say.

That’s funny, Mitt, you were all “palsy walsy” with Trump when he was giving you money and his endorsement for your campaign in 2012.

But you lost.

Then when Trump came in and was close to winning the nomination, in March 2016, you did a total 180 and made a big speech saying Trump was a crook, charlatan, con man, etc.

Mitt if you want to know who the actual con man is, look in the mirror.

You jealous POS.

I can’t believe I voted for Loser Romney.

Telling the truth never hurts good people. The fact that today’s news media are shockingly dishonest and biased enemies of everything decent is what hurts democracy and freedom.

Mitt Romney is a very bright and talented man who exemplifies everything that is wrong with the modern Republican Party

He was very comfortable with the direction of the country under Obama.

Unlike Obama, Romney would just rather see the decline and ultimate demise of the United States happen at a bit slower pace and not on his watch

Well, just how would Romney explain the way the media has treated the President? They are obviously no friends of patriotic Americans.

That’s why Romney is the water-boy on the sidelines and Trump is President.

Heh

Knew there’d be somebody

Consider the perspective from the rest of the country

And for the decade I lived there, it seemed like the entire universe to me too

Perception is reality for each person

He is the most bogus, worthless turd, just getting started for being the new McCain/Flake. I think he and Elsie the Cow were in cahoots to throw that foreign policy debate to Obama. And I remember a bunch of idiot freepers saying how smart he was not to talk about Benghazi.

Thanks, Utah.

We just planted McCain and now we have his butt buddy.
