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.

If there was a Republican fundraiser where you were allowed to beat RINOmney with a stick, like the snake he is, I think it would set records.
The only reckless thing here is to allow it to stand.
I have a gut feeling that both the GOPe and the DNC are complicit - DNC gets the presidency and the GOP keeps the senate and maybe the house.
Then both parties get what they want and both get Trump out of their hair.
Well, Romney folded when he was skunked in 2012. He caves, it is what he is good at doing.
Traitor.
Deserves what traitors get.
Everyone knows what Romney is going to say. He’s like a broken record. He lost.
Stealing an election from a sitting president is what inflames passions.

Thank God this loser was never POTUS.
Become a Democrat, Romney. You aren’t getting the GOP back.
You might want to fight a little bit because you are headed for minority status, defeat and ignominy.
Once again, aiding and abetting, huh mittens?
He so wants to be the fulfillment of the White Horse Prophecy...
