'Mitt Romney Republican' is now a potent GOP primary attack
register-herald.com ^ | 6/25/22 | Sam Metz

Mitt Romney isn't up for reelection this year. But Trump-aligned Republicans hostile toward the Utah senator have made his name a recurring theme in this year's primaries, using him as a foil and derisively branding their rivals “Mitt Romney Republicans."

Republicans have used the concept to frame their primary opponents as enemies of the Trump-era GOP in southeast Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The anti-tax group Club For Growth, among the most active super PACs in this year's primaries, used “Mitt Romney Republican” as the central premise of an attack ad in North Carolina's Senate primary.

But nowhere are references to Romney Republicanism as common as they are in Utah. Despite his popularity with many residents here, candidates are repeatedly deploying “Mitt Romney Republican” as a campaign trail attack in the lead-up to Tuesday’s Republican primary.

“There are two different wings in the Republican Party,” Chris Herrod, a former state lawmaker running in suburban Utah’s 3rd Congressional District, said in a debate last month.

“If you’re more aligned with Mitt Romney and Spencer Cox,” he added, referring to Utah’s governor, “then I’m probably not your guy.”

The fact that his brand has become potent attack fodder reflect how singular Romney's position is in U.S. politics: He's the only senator with the nationwide name recognition that comes from being a presidential nominee and the only Republican who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump twice.

Rino and invader lover. If I recall correctly he was even the first national level politician with a Spanish language website.

A potent GOP primary attack against conservative and patriotic values.

Thanks for your comment👍

I wholeheartedly agree with you and you know what is so strange about him ??😆

He is one of many of these critters in
the Congress/ Senate that ALWAYS , and I mean ALWAYS flies under the radar.

He and many others in govt ;millionaires & multimillionaires feel its their right and that they are “valid”& do what they do on the ***GRIFTER SCALE***

This type of clown will appear rarely to press interviews but only under extreme.pressure. Why because they are the worst class of people in US govt service.They fabricate the truth, tell lies on omission and sit down to purely warm up their seat.

And they have no interest whatsoever of the health of our country the USA

MuffinNoTuffet GO HOME 👍

Willard “Mitt” Romney is the a-hole who, as governor of Massachusetts, instituted sodomite marriage in Massachusetts.

Mr.”Morality,” Mr. “Family,” Mr. “Mormon Bishop.” Yeah, that guy.

Mr. Holier than Though single-handedly gave the anti-family butt-pirates their battle plan to further corrupt marriage. Do not ever forget who this evil bastard really is.

I’ve spent the better part of two decades raising awareness that he’s a treasonous Derp State rat.

I like it. Cheney and Kinzinger are Mitt Romney Republicans.

Wear the label like cement shoes!
