Romney: 'Stunning' for White House not to respond on Russian cyberattack
The Hill ^ | December 17, 2020 | Kaelen Deese

Posted on 12/18/2020 3:05:13 AM PST by Stravinsky

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Thursday said it was "stunning" for the White House to not issue a response regarding multiple alleged U.S. government cyber attacks stemming from Russia.

The senator from Utah tweeted an abbreviated version of the statement he told SiriusXM’s Chief Washington Correspondent Olivier Knox in a prerecorded interview, noting the recent reports of Russian hacks into government agencies showed "alarming U.S. vulnerability" and "apparent cyber warfare weakness."

“I think the White House needs to say something aggressive about what happened. This is almost as if you had a Russian bomber flying undetected over the country, including over the nation's capital, and not to respond in a setting like that is really stunning," Romney told Knox.

If Russia has the football, I don’t think they would bomb themselves.

Only an exchange of thermonuclear warheads would be judged as an adequate response. Quickly to the be followed by criticism of using nuclear weapons when a finger wag would have been enough.

Too busy fighting the REAL enemies. China and their partners, the Deep State.

He has no clue what Trump is doing RE the counterattack. Romney’s not in Trump’s inner circle because he’s untrustworthy.

No, if they are working on it, they do not need to tell the whole world what they are doing.

It’s only idiot big mouths like yourself who endanger national security.

Why should Trump investigate those mean ole Bolsheviks who he is suppose to be in bed with?? Naw, if I am Trump I would leave all the messes the Marxists created for them to try to clean up, cover up (probably the main thing they’ll do), or lie about. It is their problem. They have created this atmosphere for four years of lying, cheating, hate, attacks on Trump, his family, people who work for him, etc. They have pi$$ed off 72 MILLION citizens in this nation. I just wonder if these 72 million will stick together as one voice or just be 72 million separate minor voices in the wind? Let the Marxist’s figure it out. I suppose this scumbag Romney, a LOSER of the first order, will get a position in Biden’s posse of criminals. He lost his bid, so he was hostile and hate towards Trump. This punk needs to shut his big mouth up. Just another Marxist’s in RINO clothing.

Quote’Hint. Probably ain’t Russia. Most real attacks come from Communist China

Mittens, always blaming Russia for everything. This Cyber Attack was Chinese, and Mittens should know since the Chinese are his best friends.

My understanding is no one has pointed the finger at Russia except the media... Yesterday the comment was “While the Government has not made any statement this bears all the hallmarks of a Russian Cyber attack”...

I live in the very blue state he used to be governor of, and boy, have I come to hate him with a white hot burning passion.

I feel your pain in spades.

From my state, the hit parade just keeps coming: Barney Frank, Gerry Studds, John Kerry, Michael Dukakis, Elizabeth Warren, Markey...Ted Kennedy...too many to even remember.

Embarrassing. But there it is.
