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.

Did Romney ever make this statement about the Democrats going on about Trump being illegitimate nonstop for the last 4 years? Infinite damage done.

Big if, Republicans hold the Senate how long will it take for people like Toomey and Mittens to cross over and pass some of the Rat commie bills?

Senator Weathervane tries to play both sides as usual. What a lame ass.

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

If we don't fix this election, they will rig our Republican primaries in favor of those parasites.

If it’s 51-49, the Rats will make Murkowski an offer she can’t refuse. She owes her elections to the Rats anyway.

That may be what the GOPe were told but dims are gonna try to take everything they can get. NC still has 6% of the votes to count and I not only see Trump losing but Tillis’ victory being overturned. They will find enough votes in GA to overturn the Perdue race. As far as house races go the dims are livid they couldn’t flip enough state delegations.

Hope that they find the audio of him betraying the Republic somewhere and someone has the will to do something about it.

He has always been a poisonous enemy of the people. He continues to out himself to anyone dumb enough to think that he is a moral man.

If our ancestors had followed Mitt’s way, we would still be saluting the Union Jack.
