Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who voted to block President Donald Trump's border national emergency declaration, has said there is a "real crisis" on the southern border.

"I hope people in both parties, as well as people across the country, realize there's a real crisis right now at our southern border. We are at a rate of about 1 million people a year trying to cross into the country," Romney said in a Facebook video posted in April. "These are folks we're not able to properly evaluate, investigate and to vet and as a result, we don't know exactly who they are and why they want to come here. It's a real security risk and it's overwhelming our systems, particularly in our border states. So, it's a crisis and we have to deal with this on an urgent basis."

Romney was asked why he voted to block the declaration if there is a currently a crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border.

"There's a constitutional approach to providing for border fencing and I believe the president had access to the necessary billions of dollars to be able to provide that fencing and felt that the emergency declaration was unnecessary and was not consistent with constitutional principles," Romney said.

I only voted against Obama, not FOR Romney.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

RINOmney has always been a traitor.

His team cheated to get the nomination as he said.

Thankfully he lost to a clear enemy.

This gave us Trump.

I fear to think of the traitorous actions RINOmney would have imposed on us.

about that 1890 manifesto...

there had to be another one about 10 years later, and then another one later again...

the guy who was the Mormon “president and profit” in 1890 still kept his extra “wives” and later “married” more young girls...

the Mormon kleaders after him all had several “wives”...

the last Mormon leader who was a polygamist was the leader until he died in the 1940s with at least 2 of the wives still alive...

Meanwhile back in 1890ish when Utah sent their first elected Senator to Washington he couldn’t be seated because he was a polygamous which the voters knew about beforehand...SEVEN MILLION signatures were gathered from around the country in a petition to stop him from being seated and he was sent back home to Utah...

so much for that 1890 manifesto...

Also Big Daddy George Romney was born into a polygamous family ...his father, grandfather etc all had several wives...

Sonny Boy Willard has never denounced polygamy...

Let's memorialize this...

Whenever Romney opens his mouth, he’s lying. Romney is the quintessential Bush League Republican. Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.

Partner, you hit a homerun describing this useless Rino Senator from Utah.

Partner, I still can not believe that he chose another Rino Representative Paul Rino who could not even win his voting district for Romney in the 2012 Presidential elections.

[TheConservativeTejano]

Partner, I like that pic and a perfect fit for the useless Rino Senator Romney.

[Retvet]

ROMNEYS A NEVER TRUMPER RINO! This is just an attempt to cover his political rear end! The slimey eel is mustachioed nonresident.

[crz]

Mitt the Sh*t must be feeling the heat from his Mormon Rancher friends. Like Flake did.

Fact is..if they took away a good portion of the cheap illegal labor these cultist rely on, they’d go broke. The savings from that cheap labor means a good 10% tithing to the church of Ol Joseph Smith.

That is what this is all about. A lot of Mormons will lie right to your face to grab a dollar. Then they’ll trip over a ten spot just to get to that dollar.

So Senator Romney said:

“...I believe the president had access to the necessary billions of dollars to be able to provide that fencing and felt that the emergency declaration was unnecessary and was not consistent with constitutional principles...”

Gee, Mr. Romney, are there any facts that support YOUR “belief” that funding for the wall WAS “available”?

No?

Or any facts that support YOUR belief that our Constitution prevents a time-tested Emergency Declaration Law from being used when Congressional malfeasance creates a REAL emergency?

No?

Because there aren’t any such “facts”?

Well, that “problem” would certainly explain why you did NOT share YOUR important “facts” with the President? IIRC, President Trump doesn’t like liars...

Somebody please post the picture of him as a used care salesman with the large pinky diamond ring.

I prefer the one of him sitting despondent on his couch in a bath robe with a whiskey bottle in his hand.

[SaveFerris]

Mitt Romney is definitely a traitor

[1Old Pro]

Romney wants to be that guy, the smartest guy in the room. Unfortunately it’s only true when he’s alone.

[SaveFerris]

yes

[tillacum]

He is soo full of Bull manure.

[easternsky]

He probably did, but that is small considering all that no good has done. Sick of him and his ungodly ways. Always has been a O

[Candor7]

An elitist dog if ever there was one. Stand aside for populist America.

[Will88]

Because he’s a petty, jealous, envious, failed presidential candidate who can’t stand that Trump accomplished what he could not.

Not real complicated.

[hal ogen]

mittens is SUCH an unmitigated loser.
