Mitt Romney: Trump Firing Inspectors Generals ‘Threat’ to Democracy
Breitbart.com ^ | 5/17/2020 | Joshua Caplan

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT), one of the Republican Party’s most vocal critics of President Donald Trump, called the administration’s removal of multiple inspector generals a “threat to accountable democracy” and a “fissure in the constitutional balance of power.”

“The firings of multiple Inspectors General is unprecedented; doing so without good cause chills the independence essential to their purpose. It is a threat to accountable democracy and a fissure in the constitutional balance of power,” Romney wrote on Twitter Saturday.

Mitt, Nobody likes you! Even the State of Utah where you are presently carpetbagging wants to recall you because you do not stand for the conservative values you lied to the voters about. I hope we find out what you are being blackmailed for.

“fissure in the constitutional balance of power.”

There is a fissure in Mitt’s skull.

There is no greater threat to a democratic form of government than an army of unelected bureaucrats “overseeing” the elected leadership.

“..it’s a threat to the deep state.”

That’s the irony. There’s nothing like the threat to our Republic, our democracy, our self-governance like the permanent deep state. Trump is out to crush it and restore the nation.

I searched for examples of Romney screeds against obama when he fired multiple IG’s during his time in office. Curiously, I could find none at all.

Someone with an R stamped on his chest has to follow in Mcstains footsteps.

If Trump didn’t fire people Mittens would claim that was “a threat to democracy”. That phrase is a democrat talking point right now. Mittens obviously gets the DNC talking point emails.

He’s LDS, and that was more than good enough for some of the Mormons in Utah.

What’s really news here is that the sniveling worm Romney apparently still thinks he he has a shot at the presidency. Why else wouldn’t he just STFU!

Back stabbing?

No, vindictive revenge by a Massachuttes carpetbagger riding a tyrannical Mormon wave

He was governor of Massachusetts, one of the most liberal states in the Union - they’d have gotten something as bad as RomneyCare done without him. He tried to run for president once and failed miserably. He routinely betrays conservatives, so they know better than to depend on him for anything. He’s no Reagan or Trump - he simply floats through life as a mainstream liberal and he never matters much. A completely inconsequential figure kept alive by the media.

Some senior Republicans need to have a talk with the inner circle of the Mormon church, to let them know that the way Romney has been going will reflect on their church in a negative way. How they wish to address this is up to them, but ignoring the problem is not an option.

Like I said they are complete Idiots. They fell for his B.S.

That elected a snake that would gladly bring down the Republic.
