A mocking Mitt Romney takes after Trump's "foreign wives"

By JOEL CONNELLY, SEATTLEPI.COM STAFF Updated 7:09 pm, Wednesday, March 23, 2016

Mitt Romney escalated his feud with Donald Trump on Wednesday night, mocking the real estate mogul's "foreign wives" in a speech at the annual National Republican Congressional Committee dinner.

"Donald Trump has had several foreign wives; it turns out there really are jobs Americans won't do," said the 2012 Republican presidential nominee.

[Jane Long]

Amen, amen.

Look at that...she IS growing fast!!

Ain’t life sweet?

[Jane Long]

Wonder what Heidi cRuz thinks about Mitt’s comments....since she’s married to a foreign husband!!

[Trumpinator]

LOL!

"Donald Trump has had several foreign wives; it turns out there really are jobs Americans won't do,"

Hey there, Mitt!

I seem to recall that your chosen religion IMPORTED foreign wives back in the early days!

Expansion and emigration[edit]

The Emigrants statue, located in Albert Dock, Liverpool, commemorates Mormon emigration from the port of Liverpool

In 1845 a missionary named Dan Jones arrived in Wales. He would become one of the most successful Mormon missionaries to work in the United Kingdom. In December 1845 there were 493 baptised members of the LDS church in Wales, in January 1846 Dan Jones was placed in charge of the LDS missionary efforts there and by the time he left Wales in February 1849 there were 4,645 baptised members in Wales. He also led at least two emigrant parties from Wales to the Salt Lake Valley.^[20][21] He initiated publishing pamphlets and other magazines in the Welsh language that ultimately led to the publication of a Welsh translation of the Book of Mormon in April 1852 by John Davis.^[22]

By 1850 British membership had risen to 30,747 members (which was slightly more than the total in the United States at that time)^[23] and a further 7,500 had already emigrated to the United States. Following the death of Joseph Smith and the subsequent migration west of the Latter-day Saints from Nauvoo to Salt Lake City, migration from the British Isles to the United States increased greatly.^[19]:20 This emigration was aided by the church's Perpetual Emigration Fund.^[24]

The Pearl of Great Price, now part of the Standard Works of the LDS Church, was first compiled in Liverpool in 1851 by Franklin D. Richards. Within a year it had been translated into Welsh.^[25]

Opposition to Latter-day Saint missionary efforts in United Kingdom existed from the earliest missions but intensified in South Wales and the West Midlands in the 1850s, leading to some violent incidents.^[26] In February 1913 an anti-Mormon riot in Sunderland possibly led to the death of an American missionary Elder Ralph H. Hendricks^[27] though his death certificate stated he died from fever^[28] and the LDS Church's own publication's obituary stated he died after a two-month illness.^[29]

By 1892 the church membership still in the British Isles had fallen to only 2,604, despite around 111,330 baptisms occurring between 1837 and 1900^[6][30] In a similar period of time at least 52,000^[6] and up to 100,000 members^[23] had emigrated to the United States.

In 1877 half of the 140,000 Mormons in Utah were of a British origin.^[31] This migration would leave its mark upon Utah, which as of 2000 had the highest percentage of population claiming English descent (29%) of any state in the USA.^[32]

I would have expected better from someone with such high morals as a bishop.

The rot goes to the top...

Boyd K. Packer in his address to Church Educators "The Mantle is Far Far Greater than the Intellect".

 

 Published in Brigham Young University Studies 21 (Summer 1981): 259-278.

 

 

In an amazing declaration Michael Quinn reports that Elder Packer told him when he was being interviewed for his position

at Brigham Young University that he has a hard time with historians "because they idolize the truth. The truth is not uplifting:

it destroys. I could tell most of the secretaries in the church office building that they are ugly and fat. That would be the truth,

but it would hurt and destroy them. Historians should tell only that part of the truth that is inspiring and uplifting."

 

 (This is a telling statement of Elder Packers repressed shadow material!)

ed. George D. Smith, Faithful History: Essays On Writing Mormon History (Salt Lake City: Signature Books, 1992), 103.

 

 

“The new traditionalists contend that objectivity is, in fact, impossible and that history should therefore be written with certain pre-understandings, including that God exists and that Joseph Smith was his prophet.”

Whatever your views of Trump...

I'm sure that the MRS looks much better that the MISTER!!!

Besides...

[Elsie]

SURELY there is one out there with Hillary on a bear skin; too...

[mcatch22]

Someone better tel Jeb about this, so he can jump on the Romney wife bashing.
Now where was his wife born, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

[paul544]

[Trumpinator]

Back that up with facts.

? I’m talking on the GOP side and even what’s in that article doesn’t come close to candidates picking on each others wives. Nice try but nnnnno.

[apocalypto]

Mitt Romney is becoming more disgusting every day. His mocking Trump for having a foreign-born wife, reminds me of Romney’s family picture he distributed to the media. And there was a little black boy (a foster child?) among all those white faces. Several blacks reporters commented on it, thought Romney pandering.

[Trumpinator]

I was commenting on the fact that every 4 years people claim this election cycle is the nastiest ever. They say that every 4 years. They have attacked spouses before but this year because of Twitter instead of surrogates doing this it is more direct. It is the difference in perception from people who grew up on newspapers vs people who grew up on radio vs people who grew up on television vs people who grew up on the internet.

[Trumpinator]

I think I am seeing the pattern now in how the media is joining hands with the establishment.

They will attack Trump first - usually via a surrogates with plausible deniability to the candidate - Trump hits back and the media will attack Trump for his tone and negativity.

The protesters start the riots yet Trump is blamed for defending his people and his rights. A political operative attacks his wife and then Trump is attacked for attacking women because he does the counter attack on the same theme.

Yea, you see it that way too, right?

Romney was not this tough on Obama. If Trump wins, Romney better move in with Obama.
