Mitt Romney: U.S. Capitol Riot Was ‘an Insurrection Against the Constitution’
Breitbart ^ | May 15, 2021 | Katherine Rodriguez

Posted on 05/15/2021 5:00:43 PM PDT by White Lives Matter

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) called the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol an “insurrection against the Constitution,” while other Republicans downplayed the riot’s significance.

Romney’s comments came as several Republicans, including Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), and Rep. Jody Hice Norman (R-GA), minimized the violence or made false claims about the attack.

Clyde said during a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing Wednesday that calling what took place on January 6 “an insurrection” was “a boldface lie.”

Oh please! Can we stop with the exaggerations? There was no attempt to take over the government. At best, it was a disorderly protest.

“Guess who is the head of the RNC.”

And on January 6 when she should’ve been present in DC showing support for PDJT and us, she was hob-nobbing with the big donors and fat RINO cats at a resort in Florida.

Breitbart calls this a lie? Sheesh.

The vast majority of what the government does is an insurrection against the Constitution.

Mitt, shut up and go read your holy books.

“minimized the violence or made false claims about the attack.”

Breitbart, seriously? Is that really what they did?

According to you there was no riot.

So all those police injuries and the 400 people (and counting) that have been charged is just all made up.

I would hate to see what you actually think is a riot.

Lamest insurrection in history. No executions (except for Ashli Babbitt) no firing squads, no weapons, no politicians arrested, no looting, no fires, no shots fired (except by Ashli Babbitt’s executioner), no government buildings taken over, Congress was not disbanded, no government officials replaced, no newspapers closed down. Did I miss the insurrection or was the the insurrection not televised?

Mitt Romney wouldn't be saying this unless he knows he's going to be exposed for his collusion in the Fraulection of 2020.

Romney voted to impeach Trump twice, the second time after Trump had left office. This is exactly the sort of thing Romney says.

Mittens is a liar and complicit in the destruction of the United States by Black Loves Matter with is the only true insurrection going on.
.........................................................
I was convinced that no Republican officeholder would ever exhibit behavior more despicable than John McCain. Mittens has proved me dead wrong!

Again, again, Romney is only trying to get attention. The SOB will not ever, ever shut up. He thinks he can tar Trump with that for four more years. Thanks to the good people of Utah, we have him for four more years. He is a Mormon.

Desperately seeking attention. Like Liz Cheney.

Insurrection?? No, Romney. You may have a shot of charging the Proud Boys who had apparently planned an attack, but no others on January 6th.

But go back to 2016 on to 2020 when the FBI and DOJ officials had a concerted plan, with action taking place to overthrow the duly elected, legal government headed by Donald Trump. Now that is insurrection and all the elements of proof are already on the record. That is insurrection - pure and simple.

What’s his problem? He either has (1) a wedgie, (2) pent-up testosterone, (3) menopause, (4) identity crisis, or (5) small penis envy.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

(6) All of the above AND a case of TDS, Stage 4.

What does he call stealing a presidential election, and fraudulently taking control of the government?

I think is told what to do by some handler. In exchange he gets to live the high & famous life. Money buys control.

The handlers are Deep State apparatchiks, probably the same ones responsible for handling the Imposter in the White House.
