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.

A solution — Before piling on with the virtue signaling, Romney and others like him should ask him directly whether he really believes in white supremacy, or whether he merely got tongue tied attempting to criticize UNJUSTIFIED accusations of white supremacy. If the latter, he should be given an opportunity to explain his way out of this. If he really intended something racist, or is too incoherent to get across the truth, he needs to go.

What does Romney want?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To advance the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).
People like Steve King that represent the citizens are an impediment to stealing the country from us.

I call on Romney to STFU.


Well phrased.

Sadly, he is the new version of McCain and will be reverently gushed over and drooled over by CNN and others ….
until he runs for president against a Dem-Socialist. Then he’s chopped liver left in a trash can in the sun on a July day in Tucson.

[ Romney calls on Steve King to resign after comments on white supremacy ]

Keep digging that hole, Romney. I was forced to vote for you to try to throw out the Lying Kenyan.

You remind me of Juan McCain.

[The Mormons were “white supremacists” before 1978.]

That’s actually quite true. Old Mitt would like for that not to be known.

There is only one way to stop this sh7t. Mussolini neck tie. That will not happen and at some point they will win at this rate. Mittens has always given me the creeps...wonder how many females or males he keeps in his closet to play with?

He is that type of creepy.

I’m beginning to wonder if the Mormon Church was founded by Illuminati to take over the US and some other nations. I really don’t know if my statement is humor, crazy conspiracy theory, or the only explanation for Romney’s bizarre statements since becoming US Senator that makes any sense. It’s the thought that I had when reading Romney’s statement.

What does he want???

He wants the White House. Believe you me. That’s what he wants.

He’s running. He will announce for 2020. Watch and see.

What a tool.

He’s always been the hall monitor, tattle-tale, prissy, boy scout type, but Willard is also infamous for being an underhanded, sneaky, backstabber who would go to extensive, deceptive lengths to hatch plots against his perceived enemies or those he envied or viewed as rivals. I remember Willard secretly funding nasty campaign ads through third parties or dummy corps. (whatever they’re called).

Now that he’s one of one hundred, I think you’re right. He intends to be Mister Righteous. He’ll take delight in faulting President Trump and every other Republican.

That role worked so well for Flake and Kasich.
BTW, Kasich just signed on with a Hollywood talent agency today.

Aren’t evil Mormons responsible for this globalist shill. It’s not like this wasn’t predicted by everyone. Mormons are either stupid or hate America. At least those in Utah

Here is King’s statement today, on the disgusted falsehood Romney, Meadows, et al, have been perpetrating.
