Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) told the Atlantic on Sunday that he believes the Democrats impeachment inquiry investigating President Donald Trump will serve as an inflection point in American history.
Atlantic staff writer McKay Coppins released an interview on Sunday detailing extended conversations with Romney regarding his views on the U.S. Senate, his attacks on President Trump, as well as his opinions on impeachment.
Coppins wrote that while most Republicans have backed the president amidst the impeachment inquiry, Romney continues to stay open to the idea that the president may need to be evicted from the Oval Office.
Sen. Romney said that he believes that the potential impeachment will serve as a critical juncture in American history.
I do think people will view this as an inflection point in American history, Romney said.
I dont look at myself as being a historical figure, the failed 2012 Republican presidential candidate said. However, Romney adds, I do think these are critical times. And I hope that what Im doing will open the way for people to take a different path.
Sen. Romney also suggested that Trumps performance in office is directly linked to his character.
Berating another person, or calling them names, or demeaning a class of people, not telling the truththose are not private things, Romney said. If during the campaign you pay a porn star $130,000, that now comes into the public domain.

Why on earth would his Dem pals turn on him he is one of them!!!!
that was cruel Sky
Arlen Specter was the first douche
He is correct. If the republicans don’t back President Trump, he can form a MAGA party and in a week the republicans will be destroyed. If they do back President Trump and fight, it will be the splintering of the democrat party.
And in that history, Romney will be always remembered as being on the wrong side of the right side of the tracks.
I was desperately trying to do my little bit to free USA from the soroznazi puppet from Kenya. Sorry but Romney did look better at the time.
Bttt!
Mmmm, nope. He’s a cry baby.
infection point
He’s a pimple on some part of a human anatomy.
Romney is right about one thing. This time in history is a rare inflection point. The problem for him is that it wont be president Trump getting evicted. Americans are waking up in vast numbers and there will be hell for his ilk to pay.
Thing was that I didn’t vote for either so no matter what happened I can’t say I was responsible.
Impeached for what? An innocuous phone call? This is beyond ridiculous.
I would too. I despise the man. So arrogant and thinks he is entitled.
Rush was right when he was calling out the Never Trump fools... Romney, Kristol....
I pray for our President.
This is all we need: a history lesson from the village idiot.
Actually, he is correct. It is an inflection point in American history. If Trump is impeached and convicted, the bureaucratic state (Deep State, whatever you want to call it) will consider this a victory and consolidate its power by finally crushing the Constitutional republic and recreating something in its own image. My guess is that we’re at the same point that Rome faced in the final days of their Republic, when the chaos led to Augustus, and his rule created centuries of monarchs, selected and managed by the praetorian guard. If my guess is correct, then the real American empire is gestating and getting ready to be born. I remember a professor telling me once that republican values still persisted in the provinces long after Rome itself had abandoned them, and maybe that is our near future, too. Who knows? But Trump is, indeed, an inflection point, or more properly, the rise to power of the anti-Constitutionalist progressives is the inflection point, Trump merely being the object of their hate.
Wake up! The game is to impeach him and there by prevent him form appointing a USSC seat to replace RGB. Even if not removed, they will try to discredit him.
Willard does not understand that he only embarrasses himself farther by his petulant swipes.
Pity, as he could have been valuable on our team.
A relative maximum is a local peak of a function. A relative minimum is a local valley of a function. The inflection point is the point at which the function turns from concave up, say, to concave down. So it’s a type of turning point.
I’d be surprised if Mitt knows all that much about differential calculus though.
It’s the start of CWII
