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.

Hey Mitt!

From Maria Bartiromo on Parler.com

Influencer Mariabartiromotv @ Mariabartiromotv ·1 day ago 699k

A friend sent this my team is looking into it-

-4am dump/Wisconsin 65,000 votes 100% Biden

-4am dump/Michigan 138,499 votes 100% for Biden

-93% voter turnout Wisconsin

-AZ poll workers forcing voters to use sharpies thus invalidated ballots

-101 million early voters only 139 million votes - making the record in person turnout we saw yesterday actually be 1/4 of 2016

-Biden received most votes for a president in history beating Obama’s 2008

-Trump leading in GA, NC, PA, WI, MI and they stop counting" ahead of vote fairy

-Busted water line” in heavily democratic Georgia county delaying results until early this morning

-VIDEO of boxes being walking into the counting stations in MI after poll watchers sent home

Fairfax Virginia switched 100,000 votes from Trump to Biden "clerical error”

-Wisconsin discovers over 112k Biden ballots between 3:30 am and 4:30 am

-Wisconsin has more votes than registered voters

Yeah nothing is going on here.

Where was Romney when the dems repeatedly claimed voter suppression and scream that the elections were illegitimate? So that during the entire Trump presidency that Trump was an illegitimate President?

What is wrong with these people?

It’s like there’s been some kind of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and these people are walking around like zombies spewing forth such utter nonsense.

Change is coming soon and soon after that, Jesus is coming to take his saints outta here.

Romney is globalist vermin.

I only cast my vote for him, because I couldn’t vote for the other globalist pig, 0bama.

Turns out they’re the same thing.

Well, Sir Romney, if you had probably been just a tad more aggressive, it is entirely possible you’d be finishing up your second term and we’d be seeing who your successor is.

So we don’t want to hear from you sir...to put it as mildly as possible.

If the democrats would stop engaging in election fraud, we’d stop accusing them of cheating. For now, no elected democrat nationwide has any legitimacy, and no government/law changes they make are legitimate. If you obey their commands it is out of fear, not out of any moral obligation. Me? I’m too old to be afraid.

Hearing your name Romney inflames me and creates dangerous emotions. So, um, shut up...and I’ll probably be okay no matter what happens.

I’d say voting to convict a President for doing nothing illegal also “weakens the institutions that lie at the foundation of the Republic and recklessly inflames destructive and dangerous passions.”

Romney should keep out of sight and out of reach of a microphone.

He should keep out of reach of oxygen.

Predictable as the rising sun. Did we really expect Romney to say anything else?
