Romney: Trump claim of stolen election 'recklessly inflames destructive and dangerous passions'
The Hill ^ | 11/6/2020 | Jordain Carney

Posted on 11/06/2020 10:14:23 AM PST by marcusmaximus

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Friday pushed back against President Trump's baseless claim that the election is being stolen, warning that his rhetoric is only inflaming partisan tensions.

Romney, in a statement posted to Twitter, said the president was "right" to "exhaust legal remedies," including asking for recounts and that alleged voting irregularities be investigated, but "wrong to say that the election was rigged, corrupt and stolen."

"Doing so damages the cause of freedom here and around the world, weakens the institutions that lie at the foundation of the Republic and recklessly inflames destructive and dangerous passions," Romney added.

His statement comes as Republicans are increasingly pushing back as Trump digs in on his claims that the election is being stolen from him through illegal actions by Democrats in battleground states where votes are still being counted.

I wonder how much “reaching across the aisle” good old Mitt is getting ready to do?

You mean reaching across the aisle to the Republicans after Mitt inevitably crosses over. If it ever gets to a point where one crossover transfers power to the Democrats, you know Mitt will make a deal and cross over. He is just that type of weasel. If he wants to run for re-election, Romney thinks the Mormon hierarchy can run interference for him so he could be insulated from retaliation.

Does this moron actually think that if he had been elected President, that the Democrats wouldn’t have been enacting a coup to get him out of office, and that if he’d survived impeachment, that they wouldn’t use voter fraud to stop him from being re-elected? He’s dumber than a box of rocks.

Because of scum like Romney, I will never be affiliated with the GOP again.

Don't do that. The RINOs are on the way out, MAGA is taking over the GOP.

Romney took a dive in 2012 and will vote with the rest of the Commierats if Biden is seated.

His daddy was against Goldwater in 1964.

The Romneys have a history of opposing the Republican candidate.

Mittens is DS through and through.

What drives his desperation in his hatred of Trump?

Could it be pederasty, pedophilia, human trafficking, etc and so on?

How deeply involved is he in that outfit that ships off kids to Turkey for “extra training” and the kids never to be seen again?

Mittens isn’t just trash. He’s a depraved monster.

Willard “Mittens” gets his secret underwear in a bind again. Bankster gangster stabs conservatives in the back one more time in the tradition of McCain.

HOPE GOP finds great candidate to run against Romney next time he’s up for reelection. I say HOPE cause GOP, imho, for years did not have courage or...what, I don’t know cause they’re not stupid.......to find strong candidates who were willing to stand tall, i.e. like Pres Trump! GOP always afraid they’d be called racist, sexist, etc......which they are called anyway!

I had stopped donating to politicians until this election. I donated many times to many candidates in various States. IF Trump doesn’t win........I’m done, NO MORE donations.

Romney is deep state. That is all you need to know with this caveat, the deep state is both democrat and republican and most importantly years of employment in the Federal Goverment with a political agenda.
