Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) on Thursday expressed support for removing the names of Confederate figures from at least some U.S. military bases.
Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill, Romney said he would support a measure to rename military bases honoring confederate leaders in some cases. When asked about President Trumps blanket opposition to renaming bases, he replied: thats not where Id be.
On Wednesday, President Trump dismissed calls to renaming bases named after Confederate figures, declaring: Our history as the Greatest Nation in the World will not be tampered with.

It’s more and more clear that the rock-ribbed ‘severe conservative’ Mitt Romney would have been the new Reagan if he’d have won in 2012. /s
How does he feel about Mt. Rushmore?
did Sen. RomneyCARE manage to really take time from his
polysexual threesomes with HIM in the middle
that he advertises on the Internet? SICKO
So did Senator Cotton. Veto it President Trump.
No one cares.
(Don LaFontaine voice) In a world where one of Utah's Senators actually comes from the entirely real planet of Kolob . . .
DANG!
Fair enough.
America is named after the Italian explorer, Amerigo Vespucci. Since he was a white European, he must have been evil.
When will they demand a name change for America itself?
Not to mention Brigham Young University.
Point being, is that if Mitt thinks they won’t eventually come after Brigham Young and his other Mormon heroes, he’s got another thing coming.
Would Mittens have our nations capital named Kunta Kinte City as George Washington owned slaves and was steeped in white privilege?
Joseph Smith and Brigham Young were notorious racists. How about we tear down all the statues of them and rename everything named after them, Mr. Romney?
Yes this game can be played in many different ways that’s for sure.
Shut up, you traitorous piece of trash.
When Romney ran against Obama, Hollywood started pumping out the related films.
good point.
Romney has hundreds of racist statues covered in gold leaf
if Romney is NOT hypocritical (he is) he
will go along and finally take them all down,
give the gold to slaves, and then make good
for his (projected) wrongdoings.
That is stupid. Either support changing them all, or none of them. Otherwise, what principle are you fighting for?
I say take all the names off all the bases, and name them based on where they are located.
Purging and rewriting history is wrong, period-American history is both good and bad,since it was made by humans, rather than God. My Spanish ancestors enslaved the Native Americans the minute they set foot in the new world-but most of us who are Hispanic aren’t howling about removing statues or re-naming places. Never, ever try to appease the socialist/communist left-they will not be happy with anything less than our total destruction-they are f***ing evil people...
My family has lived in Texas for over 200 years-and I bought my very first Stars and Bars right after Obama got elected and bad-mouthed that flag-many of my neighbors did the same, and we flew them on our gates every 4th of July until pres Trump was elected-guess I’ll dig mine out and fly it on the 4th again, just to make a point -”Es mejor morir de pie que vivir en rodillas”...
I’m fairly confident that Milt is equipped with a vagina. It must be very difficult for him to decide what magic underwear he should buy.
