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.

Romney pulling his head out of butt to speak recklessly inflames his sphincter.

Spot on. He eviscerated Barky in debate number one and the debate was an hour old when he began to fear he would beat a black man and be attacked for it. So he punked out. McCain did the same. That’s why he picked Palin. That of course backfired as far as the GOP rank and file were concerned. He had his people rein her in to keep from winning.

No, he would not have been better than Obama. He would have been as bad if not worse. Obamacare was simply a Romneycare on a national scale. And anyone with such a treacherous streak in him as Romney can never be trusted to the what is right. I voted for him in 2012, but in hindsight, I am glad he lost.

Romney = steaming heap of dung. That’s actually too good for him—a toilet bowl full of vomit is a close second.

Has anyone figured out what Mitt’s end game in this is? How is he benefitting anyone, or is he just trying to give Trump a final kick?
