Romney backs Trump in shutdown showdown, questions Pelosi
ABC News ^ | 1/18/19 56 Minutes Ago | BRADY McCOMBS

Posted on 01/18/2019 5:16:03 PM PST by conservative98

U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah said Friday he supports President Donald Trump's push for a border wall that has led to a government shutdown and questioned why Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi won't agree to "another few miles" of barriers on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Romney also said he plans to keep working with other senators to find interim solutions, such as legislation that would make sure essential government employees still working get paid now.

The 2012 GOP presidential nominee and new Utah senator acknowledged that it "takes two to tango" but backed Trump's position and chided Pelosi for hers. That's noteworthy from Romney, who despite being a Republican like Trump, has frequently criticized the president.

"You (Pelosi) and your fellow Democrats have voted for over 600 miles of border fence in the past, why won't you vote for another few miles now?" said Romney, speaking in the northern Utah city of Ogden after visiting with county commissioners about the shutdown's impact on the community. "I don't understand their position, I really don't."

"Romney backs Trump"

Is he back on his meds, or is he just tied of getting hate mail from the citizens of Utah?

So is this guy a snake or just a rope with a bunch of rattles tied onto one end???

If I were POTUS, I don’t think I’d let Romney get close enough for me to find out

>We are winning if Mittens is, all of a sudden, on Trumps side.<

I’m afraid Mittens isn’t on Trump’s side. He’s on Trump’s side because he’s seen how fierce the wind is blowing and isn’t interested in fighting the gale Trump started.

But Mittens will stab Trump in the back most of the rest of the time.

A Hack knows how to stab.

That’s about it with this guy. He’ll find a way to redeem himself for the Left.

He probably shat himself over the airplane getting yanked from Pelosi and Trump making her look like a fool. She is finished and Romney sees just what Trump can do and will fall in line - for awhile at least.

Sleez-bag Mormon grifter. His "hate Trump" schpeel turned out to be a massive disaster so now the used car salesman is all lovey dovey, "I support the border blah, blah, blah."

Typical.

Here’s MHO: “Romney’s Bishop called him in for a counseling session and thereby gave him a message from The Church’s President.”
