Romney calls on Steve King to resign after comments on white supremacy
The Hill ^ | January 14, 2019

Posted on 01/14/2019 3:53:32 PM PST by SMGFan

Newly-elected Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Monday called for conservative Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) to resign from the House because of his remarks questioning whether white supremacy is "offensive." “I think he ought to step aside and I think Congress ought to make it very clear he has no place there,” Romney told CNN’s Manu Raju on Monday.

A spokeswoman for Romney confirmed the statement. Romney is the latest high-profile Republican voice to condemn King’s comments made in an interview with The New York Times in which he said, “white nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?”

“Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and civilization?” he said.

The Mormons were “white supremacists” before 1978.

I suppose we can look forward to six years of this P.O.S. ass-hat being trotted out every time we’re told how “bi-partisan” the support for some Globalist/Socialist piece of legislation is.

Just as Trump is showing Republicans how to fight, Romney is showing them how to puss their pants after one bad comment.

Romney is no different than a Douchewater Democrat.

Can’t wait for that AOC pole-dancer-ish woman to make some rude comments about Romney. It will be hilarious to watch him splutter and apologize.

I’m genuinely curious when the last time this happened among Congressional Democrats. When’s the last time that a bunch of Democrats demanded that a fellow Democrat resign because of comments by that Democrat reported in a conservative media outlet. As much as we make fun of them, they seem to do much, much better than the Republicans at sticking together and not assaulting each other like this.

Romney you POS, are you gonna ask them Dems to resign like Maxi(pad) Waters for her Racist comments, or what about that Muslim Congress women for her comments or do you just attack Republicans and play nice with democraps. Utah you messed up big time. The rest of the nation warned you bit instead you committed the fallacy of thinking if he’s Mormon he must be good.wrong.

Mitt was clobbered so badly in the 2012 race that he now submissively licks the feet of those who bested him.

The Left will never respect him but they will tolerate him so long as he doesn't go off leash and behaves himself like a good little doggie.
