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

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.

Typical Bush League Republican.

In your face fraud rampant all over the country and he refuses to see it.

Romney was abused on national tv by candy and bammy on the questions they had shared.

The deer in the headlight look he had when he realized he'd been had was amazing.

Yet he did nothing about it.

Watermarks, Mitt. Watermarks. As usual you are nothing but a toady and sycophant for the Left.

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

240 million votes? This number is staggering and filled with massive fraud.

And Romney’s such a tiger that if he thinks something is too aggressive, like you know, brushing your teeth, well, then you know you’re on the bleeding edge....

I wonder how much “reaching across the aisle” good old Mitt is getting ready to do?
After the republican senate candidates leads evaporate, and the two run offs are over with, I wonder how long it will be before he pulls a Jeffords.

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.

Sure looks like it.

The issue here is not Trumps' claims but the actions of the Democrats who are in the very act of stealing the elections.

Its like saying that calling out the burglars is BAD as you are disturbing the neighborhood!!

Well the one thing we have in our power is to rid the GOP of those parasites once and for all.

Kind of like how you made a lot of dough off of China and then don’t call China out for its own one party rule.. If there is an H for Hypocrit Party in Hell, MiTT is one of its leaders.

He could care less about Trump losing, he wins either way.. but will always be a loser in reality and defending freedoms for anyone except the US citizens and patriots who deserve better than to be sold out again to the highest bidder.

Take the middle “m” out of Mormon, and that is what Romney really is.

He is dangerous because he denies us our constitutional right to a free and fair election.

Romney is gaslighting.

If there isn’t some review and reconciliation of votes, there’s no contest to be won or lost.

It won’t have been an election.

Romney is living in a fantasy world. He thanks Trump is the only sonuvabitch in American politics. Look, I love decent fellows like Mike Pence, Bob Dole and Ronald Reagan. But, Trump won the nomination in 2016, and that makes him our guy.

PS if anybody forgot, Romney was the lone Republican in the Senate to vote to remove Trump from office based, supposedly, on the Ukraine hoax.

Mitt hasn’t the slightest idea what ‘the right page’ looks
like, since he’s on the wrong on 99.999% of the time.
