Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney praised former Secretary of Defense General James Mattis for his “stunning and powerful” critique of President Donald Trump’s response to protests over the death of George Floyd.
“General Mattis’ letter was stunning and powerful.” Romney told reporters outside a GOP luncheon on Thursday. “General Mattis is a man of extraordinary sacrifice. He’s an American patriot. He’s an individual whose judgment I respect, and I think the world of him.”
If I ever had to choose somebody to be in a foxhole with, it would be with General Mattis. What a wonderful, wonderful man.”
Mattis, who served as Trump’s Secretary of Defense for two years, called the president’s promise to send the military units into cities if governors to do not disperse protests using the National Guard “ … a mockery of our Constitution.” He also added that the Trump is the first president who “does not even pretend to try” to unite the country.
“Instead he tries to divide us,” Mattis said in a statement to the Atlantic. “We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children.”
Hours later Trump responded by saying he had the “the honor of firing Jim Mattis, the world’s most overrated General.”
Romney can jump in a foxhole with Mattis now, since the U.S. military allows women in combat.
Romney supports Soros, so Mattis must, too.
Draft dodging wimp with six draft deferments for being a Mormon missionary in France when far better men his age fought and died in VN. Have the decency to shut your mouth about a self-styled “Mad Dog” who never won a battle.
If Mitt ever found himself in _any_ foxhole?
I’d die of laughter!
During the impeachment fiasco romney proved he was a democrat dick.
Willard wants to be in a foxhole ???
But when he had a chance to be and to serve our country during wartime he dodged the draft...at least TWICE...
Romney, a multi-draft dodger himself. He’d like to be in a foxhole with Mattis, but I’m pretty sure Mattis wouldn’t any part of being in a firefight with Romney at his side.
FUMR
Bottom line? Romney and the rest of the batch are envious of the President and family. It’s that simple. Keep praying for our President’s protection as well as his family and all those in all walks of life that are seeking God’s Will for not only this country but for their own personal lives.
Romney is seriously disturbed!!!
I still say there may be a “Draft Romney” movement from the Bushies.
“The HELL this ain’t most important foxhole in the world, Mattis! I’M MITT ROMNEY!”
I’d wager that some kid in high school gave The Bishop a monster wedgie.
And to think that this sour dweeb was the R nominee in 2012.
He’s not fit to hold a brave veteran like Trump’s painful bone spurs!
We are witnessing the consequences of a man who has hidden under a mask of “mad dog” while he morphed into a bureaucrat. I hate bureaucrats. Public servants are fine; but bureaucrats are evil, especially nowadays. They are acting like tribals.
So many snakes.
Go away Milt.
