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.

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.

Oh, I have no doubt. I’ll get to vote against him four times, maybe more.

Mormon “Righteousness” is worn on the lapel, but seldom practiced in relation to non-mormons.

I was married to a mormon girl whose daddy was “one of the seventy.” His business dealings with non-mormons were rotten to the core.

Mitt also volunteered to drive the first nail into King’s hand.

“I call on Mittens to formally change his party affiliation to Democrat...”

Here we go again; people on this site just cannot abide a Republican controlled Senate that will appoint conservative Supreme Court justices.

I assume you are in favor of having Leftist judges to curse the nation for the next forty years.

Or do you like to cut off your nose to spite your face.

What does Romney want? Praise from Democrats for undermining Republicans?


Romney wants love wherever he can get it.

It’s starting to look like the Mormons brought Willard in to take Flakes place in the Senate.

None of what King said was racist.

It's your typical boilerplate Alinsky tactic. NY Slimes trot out an article that purposefully takes King's remarks out of context; Democrats then call on Republicans to denounce said comments and like the absolute Shih tzu dogs they are, Republicans immediately run to the nearest microphones and condemn one of their own.

Never mind Hank Johnson comments or those two Muslim beeyotches in Congress.

Nah. He wants power. But most of all, he wants to get back at Trump.

I'm all in favor of Republicans who will APPROVE conservative Supreme Court Justices. Last I knew, it was President Trump's job to appoint them.

I assume you are in favor of having Leftist judges to curse the nation for the next forty years.

If Mittens is being counted on as a "reliable" Republican vote, you probably thought the same about McLame and Flakey, too. Since Utah foisted the dipstick on us until 2025, might as well have him counted on the other side of the aisle from the get-go. This way, people like you won't be wringing your hands in disappointment on this forum when the esteemed Junior Senator from Utah votes "no" on RBG's replacement, unless President Trump appoints the second coming of Steven Breyer.

I thought Mittens was a Republican. Why is he acting like a DemocRAT?
