Mitt Romney Defends Peaceful Antifa Terrorists – Gets Schooled by Twitter
GP ^ | 08/16/17 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/16/2017 7:35:25 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Mitt Romney joined the fray on Tuesday defending the violent club-wielding Antifa terrorists from Charlottesville.

An ignorant Mitt Romney defended the Antifa terrorists for rejecting “racism and bigotry.”

"No, not the same. One side is racist, bigoted, Nazi. The other opposes racism and bigotry. Morally different universes." - Mitt Romney

 

This did not go unnoticed.

Romney got schooled on Twitter for defending the violent domestic terrorist group.

"The fact that you view Antifa as moral and acceptable is beyond disgusting. No wonder you lost resoundingly in your presidential run." - Alex@SoCal4Trump

Ann Coulter tore into the former Republican leader.

"The side that merely "opposes racism & bigotry" violently attacked nice GOP rally attendees, wives & kids in Chicago, San Jose, DC, etc"

"The side that merely "opposes racism & bigotry" also led directly to the murder of 10 cops last year in Dallas, Baton Rouge & NYC."

"The side that "opposes racism & bigotry" shut down speeches by me, Heather MacDonald, @charlesmurray, Milo, violently, with masks & weapons."

Finally… The Antifa terrorists brought flame throwers and soda cans filled with cement on Saturday.
So peaceful.

Can’t really blame The Bishop for not being up to speed on domestic terrorism from Antifags - I suppose he just sits in his lily white, gated community painting portraits of dogs and little old ladies - oh, wait, . . . .

There’s no getting around the fact that Donald Trump was the 2016 Republican nominee because the grassroots supporters of the Republican Party were sick of the @ssholes the GOP had been running as its presidential candidates for more than 25 years. I’d include both Bushes, Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney among them.

I agree. I think this is a case of juat being ignorant of who the counter protesters were in VA. No excuse, clearly he’s clueless of what is taking place in the real world.

Antifa is anarchist, anti-law enforcement, believes in and uses violence to try to accomplish their objectives. Antifa were the violent ones armed with clubs, flaming cans, bear spray and balloons filled with excrement (coolers full). They came to fight. The alt-right came to exercise their free speech and show their opposition to removing the statue - no violence was planned as part of their rally, they had a legal, court-backed permit & supposedly a security plan worked out with the local police so there would be no problems.

The views of NEITHER side are morally acceptable; however, Antifa is the one dressed in black with their faces masked who ARE violent from the get-go. Mittens needs to educate himself; however, he’d rather jab at and try to score points against Trump .... who is totally correct to condemn ALL of the groups involved in the Charlottesville debacle.

Thanks to Gov McAuliffe who was trying to score political points out of an alt-right event (with 2020 in mind) and, Mayor Signer (who proclaimed C’ville capital of #theresistance in January) et al (Asst. Mayor is a scumbag leftist, too), they ended up pouring ‘gas’ on the alt-left/alt-right fire and then let it burn out of control ..... and that’s before even getting into the issue of who told the police to ‘stand down’ .... and the word out there is someone did. Someone needs to get going on some FOIA requests ... Gov/Mayor’s offices, local & state police, etc.

There are a lot of reasons to be disgusted with both Romney and McCain.

I think much of it is founded in the mere fact that they both failed in their quest to become elected president while Donald Trump was successful and he is now our elected President.

They resent his success where they failed, especially since they both arrogantly believe that they are better suited to be president.

So they never miss a chance to take a sniper shot at him.

That is the truth! I had a friend of mine tell me McCain wanted to lose, at the time did not believe it. Sure do now.

“Both sides BEHAVED unlawfully.”

Did it start out that way, or were the “nationalists” protesting peacefully until Antifa, BLM, etc., went on the offense and goaded the others into defending themselves? I didn’t watch so I don’t know. I’m leaning toward Antifa “taking the first shot” to start a riot that otherwise wouldn’t have happened.

I'm going to go out on a limb here... Depending on what these "different opinions" are, I have been known to be intolerant. For instance, I'm not that tolerant of a person that supports abortion. Notice that the definition doesn't mention race at all. As for racism, it's just another word for tribalism which has been part of the human condition since the beginning of time. Even groups of people (tribes) of people of the same race discriminate against other groups (tribes). Religion is probably one of the biggest factors actually. Race and other factors are only subsets. When I was looking to get married 50 years ago, the first cut was Sex of course, the second was Religion (I'm Catholic), the third was race, the forth was how hot she was. Oh well... ************************************************************ big·ot·ry ˈbiɡətrē/ noun noun: bigotry; plural noun: bigotries intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself. ************************************************************ rac·ism ˈrāˌsizəm/ noun prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.

Right. 2 moments from the 2012 debates prove this.

-When Crowley protected Obama and his lie about Benghazi and Romney didn’t fight back.

-When, very early in the VP debate, Ryan was making a point, Biden hijacked his speech, shouted over him and in effect told him to shut up. Ryan didn’t fight back and just sat there smiling the rest of the night.

McCain did the same in 2008 when he:

-Suspended his campaign.

-Allowed the media to attack Palin without defending her.

-Announced that Obama was a man of high character and that there was no reason to fear an Obama presidency.

All of that and the fact that they all knew he was not a natural born citizen as described in the Senate resolution declaring John McCain a natural born citizen because he had TWO citizen parents.

EVERYONE in the District of Corruption colluded to violate the Constitution when they allowed the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

All part of a plan to make sure we could not elect a President who would uphold the rule of law and enforce laws and borders.

Since the last amnesty, the GOP only nominated amnesty candidates.
Until Trump.

THAT is what has the Uniparty so animated to get rid of him

Their 50 year plan to steal our country from us by flooding it with foreigners is at stake.

The confrontation seems to be preplanned and made to happen by the way the local officials conducted themselves.

The authorities tried to shut the rally down by revoking the permit but a judge reinstated the permit the day before the rally.

So the day of the rally at the last minute they declared a State of Emergency and shut the rally down.

The State Police forced the rally attendees to leave the park to the south by the two exits on Market street
where the ANTIFA slugs like Mr. Flamethrower were armed and waiting for them armed with their clubs and bats.
