Romney praises Biden's boycott of Beijing Olympics
The Hill ^ | 12/06/2021 | MYCHAEL SCHNELL

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) praised the diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Beijing Olympics on Monday after the Biden administration announced that no government officials will be traveling to the Chinese capital for the Winter games.

The Utah Republican said the administration's decision was "right."

“The Administration is right to refuse diplomatic presence at the Beijing Olympics: America will not turn a blind eye to China’s predation, persecution, and genocide,” Romney wrote on Twitter.

It’s very difficult to be diplomatic about Romney.

To the extent it’s worth doing something, it should be something more than not having the State Department folks go.

Yes— everything that affects is PANAMA PAPERS overseas investments-— the man is a charlatan, a used car salesman and his people work WITH the Mexican drug cartels to ferry human beings out of Mexico. Disgusting individual- a lot to answer for, especially his OFF SHORE accounts. Panama Papers- it’s all there.

This “boycott” is Jimmah Cahtah all over again— how ironic coming from the Afghanistan F-UP himself, killing more Afghanis than the Russians ever did. Biden has, and Cahtah’s boycott hurt our athletes— so Biden’s turn at this farce in the wind is to prevent “gubmint” officials from attending. That’s not going to work out— they’ll go anyway if they want to— zero repercussions for them doing so. Sort of like mandating the “jab”. It’s over JoeBama! Give it up.

Non-boycott.

And he’s thrilled about it.

In my opinion, Romney epitomizes the GOP. By that I mean: he’s a Democrat.

No Biden “Diplomatic presence” at the Olympics?
And that is relevant how?
Does Xi care about that?
Nope.

Its an empty gesture and of no consequence.
Only a fool like Romney will like it.

Ooh, one step above “strongly worded letter.” That certainly will stop the ChiComs from invading the Republic of China (Taiwan).

Yes, and as long as he can be the token Rino face and the press will fawn over him for taking any left wing stand he’ll keep giving it to them.

So we are sending American citizens and American money to the Chinese games, but not diplomats and other government payroll freeloaders? Okay, that redefines splitting hairs.

So if Kamala goes, does she go as a private citizen?

When you think about it, Biden is turning the United States
into a third world nation.

Why would China care if a third world nation’s diplomats came
or not?

Biden is play 3d chess by checkers rules.

That’s not the kind of Olympic boycott I remember with the Soviets in Moscow and then LA.

Ummm, none of them were invited to go, so what's his point?
