Mitt Romney: Trump Has Distanced Himself From ‘Humility,’ ‘Honesty, Integrity’
Breitbart ^ | May 19,2019 | Pam Key

Posted on 05/19/2019 4:22:33 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said he did not believe President Donald Trump’s actions as laid out in special counsel Robert Mueller’s 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 it’s difficult in order to make a case for obstruction of justice or impeachment, not an underlying crime, I think it’s difficult to put together an effective case to prosecute for those crimes.”

He added, “I’ve made it clear I will support the president on policies where we agree. I’ll disagree with him openly if there’s 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 there’s been some call where the president has distanced himself from some of the best qualities of the human character.”

Mittens is humble? Obama is humble? Give me a break.

Tapper's passive aggressive questions are over the top. Do you think Tapper is a disgrace to humanity? His "profession?"

Mitt, he’s the most honest President this country has known in modern time. Please stick a sock in your pie hole.

I could not agree more. The GOP is soulless, unprincipled party totally devoid of any convictions. They pretend to be conservative before every election cycle and then revert right back to the dissembling scoundrels they are.

We are in desperate need of a new party that represents conservative interests and is willing to fight to defend them. The GOP will never be that party.

Mittens, just become a Democrat already. At least then you would be honest.

“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.”

Is he talking about Clinton or Obama?

If you’re looking for humble don’t look at Trump because that was never him and we all knew it. We needed someone to stand up to the deep state pigs that were enriching themselves at the expense of the rest of us.

And not just enriching...trying to guilt us into voting against our own best interests in order to create their new world order in which they run everything.

Trump stopped them in their tracks but they can’t quit scheming ...they’re disgusting and pathetic including and especially Mitt Romney.

. . . but not as far as you have distanced yourself from an eternity in heaven, Bishop Romney.

Yea, I know, you don’t believe in hell. Well, guess what: Hell’s hot and Heaven’s not.

Romney actually trying to position himself for the GOP nomination? This guy is really off the rails.

Screw starting a third party, take the Republican Party back from the worms who bought control of it and put it right back where it was before the establishment types who were left high and dry when the Republican party started in the first place bought it out from under the founders of the party.

I wasn’t voting for Trump to be the Pope or some sort of moral example.

I was voting for him to build the damned wall, cut taxes and regulations.

That he drives the democRATS crazy....well, Obama tortured US for 8 years.

Go screw yourself Willard.
