Sunday on CNNs State of the Union, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said he did not believe President Donald Trumps actions as laid out in special counsel Robert Muellers report rise to the level of impeachment, but the president does not exhibit the best qualities of human character.
Host Jake Tapper asked if Trump has disgraced the office of the president.
Romney said, I think a number of things were unfortunate and distressing. Clearly the number of times there were items of dishonesty, misleading the American public and media are things you would not be want to see from the highest office in the land.
He continued, Abuse of power is at a whole other level, which suggests impeachment. I think in part one of the things its difficult in order to make a case for obstruction of justice or impeachment, not an underlying crime, I think its difficult to put together an effective case to prosecute for those crimes.
He added, Ive made it clear I will support the president on policies where we agree. Ill disagree with him openly if theres something I think is wrong for the country or for my state. But I think he could substantially improve his game when it comes to helping shape the character of the country. I think young people, as well as people around the world, look at the president of the United States and say, does he exhibit the kind of qualities we would want to emulate? And those are qualities of humility, of honesty, integrity, and those are things where I think theres been some call where the president has distanced himself from some of the best qualities of the human character.

Mitt Romney is following in the same failed footsteps of the passed Senator and America Traitor, Turncoat, John McCain. You hear very little mention of the hated McCain from around the country. He is forgotten as he should be.
As for Romney, he and his failed loser VP candidate, Paul Ryan gave the POTUS election in 2012 to Obama in a bowed basket of butt kisses!!!
ME TOO!
It is deliberate to draw attention to himself. He does this consistently, and he's too smart for it to be accidental. I'm not sure who he's trying to appeal to, because he's behind the curve and off message for either Republicans or Democrats. Maybe he's thinking of trying to run against Trump. In which case, I will enjoy voting for Trump and against Romney.
Romney is running for the White House again, and he seriously believes this approach is going to win for him.
Surrender while pretending some nonexistent third party is the way to go. Gotcha.
What a Sore loser...but we already knew that (FIFY)
Bottom line, if we don't have what it takes to sharpen the edges of our entrenching tools, grab a bag of grenades, and take the trenches back from the bastards, we sure don't have what it takes to succeed at starting a third party.
“Mitt Romney wouldnt recognize integrity if it bit him in his food waste exit”.
His mouth is a cloaca.
Where is his respect for the office of the President of the United States? They tell the world how rude and crude they are by dissing that office and speaking ill of the President. He shows no courtesy and he shows no sense of decency for the man WE elected! He speaks and does what he accuses... they all do that... and they come off as low life.
President Trump is the first President in a long time who is working for the people.. mitt and the rest.. are politicians we rejected. I dread the day when we have to go back to POLITICIANS!!
Rush said last week that biden does nothing in Washington. Once elected, most of them go to Washington and do nothing.. take vacations, get as much money as they can... that’s why they become politicians.. working for the people? when? (rare exceptions, of which they have earned their keep)
More than the elites. He doesn’t care about the Donor Class. He doesn’t need them.
They look at that as his crime.
Surrender while pretending some nonexistent third party is the way to go. Gotcha.
Facing reality is not surrender. Mitt Romney was the most GOP POTUS nom. Then told us he “voted for his wife” over the GOP base selected 2016 GOP nom even if that meant a Hillary Criminal and her constitution destroying SCOTUS.
A party whose leaders are that morally vacant and unmoored with its voters will not exist. Like the Whig Party the Party of Lincoln is headed to the dustbin of history. Sorry to break that news to you.
I strongly suspect that this despicable man has been successfully bribed by the fascists now in control of the Democrat Party to provide the fake news organizations with a constant stream of Trump-hating invective from now until election day. He may actually be even more detestable than McCain was, and that is damn near beyond belief!
Were the people weve been waiting for.
Lol, I remember that!
It WAS spun as some kind of nuanced humility!
And his bitch good for nothing RNC chairwoman is worthless!! SHE MUST BE REMOVED!! Where the hell is the outrage from the RNC? WHERE THE HELL IS THE “CENSURING $$$$ SEVERITY FOR THESE BASTARD RINOS!!! Can’t stand his freakin good for nothing do nothing witch and her freakin uncle!!! SICK OF IT!!!
When there are no consequences evil can boast.
WTF does he think he’s running for next?
I will not vote for him again...
Trump exposed DC for what it is freeloaders all..
Trump will be just a bump in the road...
Like Ronald Reagan
Reagans biggest mistake George Bush
Makes no difference now the liberals are fleeing the blue states for red states and turning them blue
I fled New York in 1980..
Colorado. In 2000
I would flee Florida but 77 degrees is cold and to old to move again
Utah Morons elected Romney to keep the Cheap Labor Express running.
BTW, you attitude is illustrative of why conservatives will never control the levers of power in the GOP. The GOP base elected POTUS and what did the GOPe do? Colluded with Democrats via the Mueller Coup to obstruct the very GOP platform they were elected to support. Until we accept the reality of the situation nothing will change in American politics. I always thought the Uniparty stuff was tin foil hat terrority. Then POTUS appeared on the scene and confirmed it all.
Bringing it back around to Romney, which GOP elected officials will now come out in support of POTUS after this outrageous personal smear of sitting GOP POTUS by a GOP US Senator? Very few if any. What sanctions will Mitthole face for this choreographed attack on President Trump? None. There is your clue there that the GOP prefers progressive Democrats to Trump (and those who elected him). Take it before it’s too late.
