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.

“( Please refrain from inappropriate comments toward Mormons ) “

And just what would those comments involve? I am a non-practicing Mormon. Can I as a “member” use the “inappropriate comments” that I would like to share? FWIW, his church isn’t his problem! He’s a worthless a$$hole quite apart from his religious preferences or membership. Most Mormons are as decent a bunch as you’d find.

“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.”

They do just the opposite, they “circle the wagons!” Did you see any of them telling Bob Menendez to resign? The only time they’ve done that is when that Italian buttwipe (Torricelli) in NJ was so far in the hole that he was going to loose them a Senate seat. It was then, with the “help” of the NJ Supreme Court they were able to dig up and dust off the Lautencorpse and reinstall him.

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


He wants the progressive corportist agenda to be advanced. The easiest way to do that is elect more Democrats and let them install a European style socialist system while the GOP is in the minority. Then later a progressive European style “conservative” GOP can regain the majority and manage what the Democrats built without having their fingerprints on it.

I despise that phony Romney and admire Steve King.


I so look forward to NOT voting for a Republican endorsed by Romney.

Looks like Mrs. Mitt is still declining to press charges after she got beat up by her husband, the Democrat Media, back in 2012.

She can change them, she knows. ;-)

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.


Not really. Romney knows he will never win the WH.

He wants a rebranded GOP that is Democrat lite. The Democrat Party before the communists took over, basically. All this move the GOP to the left strategy goes back to the “autopsy report” after the kenyan beat him like a rug.

Ask anyone going after Congressman King EXACTLY what they think he said. Then ask them if King ever publicly called ANY POTUS a Motherf***er.

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 a breathtakingly arrogant thing to say given that WE vote for the POTUS that is nominating conservative SCOTUS judges AND Dirtbag Romney “voted for his wife.” Thus potentially enabling Hillary Rotten Criminal and her Constition destroying SCOTUS. Give his voting record it is clear he is just fine with a Democrat SCOTUS.

We need to politically destroy the likes of Romney so others are not encouraged to enable the Democrat fascists as they murder this nation. The sooner the better.

FU Willard!! Just shut the h*ll up, you sanctimonious hypocritical LOSER!!!

By the way, you belong to a “religion” with a recent and current reputation for being both racist and misogynist.

@holes like you who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw rocks.

Romney should resign over his Mormon Supremacy.

Romney is a Democrat loser who will try to pick off all the non leftists.
