Romney calls for nation to 'get behind' Biden

Republican Sen. Mitt Romney on Sunday called for the country to "get behind" President-elect Joe Biden and said he has seen no evidence of widespread voter fraud, even as President Donald Trump has pushed for election-related lawsuits and refused to concede the election.

"I think we get behind the new president, unless for some reason that's overturned, we get behind the new president and wish him the very best," Romney, who was the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."

While CNN and other networks projected Saturday that Biden will become the 46th President of the United States and Kamala Harris will become vice president, Trump has pushed his attorneys to pursue legal challenges that would delay formal certification of the results. And as his path to reelection narrowed, the President pushed baseless claims of voter fraud -- claims Romney cast doubt on Sunday.

"I do believe, however, that it's destructive to the cause of democracy to suggest widespread fraud or corruption. There's just no evidence of that at this stage. And I think it's important for us to recognize that the world is watching," Romney said.

I will get WAY, WAY behind Biden! He CANNOT be trusted.

Utah... really? Why do you inflict this assclown upon us?

It is not destructive to the nation to suggest fraud, Mittens never bothered to complain that way for four years of Russia, Russia, Russia.

It is destructive to the Nation to COMMIT fraud.

Like pretending to be conservative to get voted in and then betraying that trust by actually trying to destroy that agenda for personal gain.

I did vote for Pert, but I was living in Western NY state at the time so both Perot and Bush were throw away votes anyway.

Only if the “line” is waiting to kick plugs in the A$$...

[EvilCapitalist]

To fornicate himself?

[American in Israel]

I am under the impression that all the Dems and half the Republicans want Trump to go down cause they ALL have their hand in the cookie jar with Biden.

Not “widespread”, eh? Cripes, how dense can you be? What this dope does not understand is that the fraud does not need to be “widespread”. In a close election, it just has to be in a few places, a few key states that were close the last time around, and in key districts and precincts that are closely controlled by ‘Rats and therefore make it easy to hide the fraud, if necessary (although anymore, hiding it is becoming less necessary, and more in-your-face). Even a little fraud, narrowly spread, is too much. Every illegal vote has the effect of disenfranchising a legal voter. Acceptance of even a little fraud is injurious to the life of a democratic republic, because to overcome fraud by one side, the other has to win a supermajority of votes. It makes the bar much higher for the aggrieved party, especially in a close election.

Just like he called for the nation to get behind Trump, right?

Oh yeah ... that didn’t happen.

[RatsDawg]

It wouldn’t surprise me if Romney voted for Obama over himself in 2012.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Screw Romney and Biden. I going to get behind Biden just like that ***hole got behind President Trump. Impeach that thieving and lying gasbag. NOW!!!

[FlingWingFlyer]

Defund Romney. He’s a treasonous bastard.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’ll give the fancy, magical underwear boy all the support he gave President Trump. Kiss it, Mitt!!!

[reasonisfaith]

Sure seems like it.

It was potentially a strategy that could have worked.

But they never thought Trump would win.

The mormons follow orders. If ordered to vote for mittens again, they will.

[HollyB]

[ToxicMich]

Oh, I WILL GET “BEHIND” BIDEN, but I assure you, he will not like the feeling!!!
