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.”

I read it again. Same problem. Not “Romney claimed several Republicans.” Very suspect phrasing from Breitbart. It literally states that several Republicans made false claims and minimized the violence. Still, it basically calls out Romney for doing what he does.

Romney is so jealous that his own handsomeness and starched shirt doesn’t give him the same attention of Trump. Mitt, you’ve got to have brains, in addition to good looks, darling.

Minneapolis was a real riot, entire blocks burned.

The swearing-in of Joe Biden on January 20,2021 was an insurrection against the Constitution.

“Each state shall appoint, in such a manner as the legislature thereof may direct...”

Judicial meddling in violation of state law made Joe’s swearing-in an insurrection against the Constitution.

Judicially-instigated Postal Service meddling in violation of state law made Joe’s swearing-in an insurrection against the Constitution.

Election fraud in violation of state law made Joe’s swearing-in an insurrection against the Constitution.

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

Exactly how many minimally sentient individuals are there left in this country that are not yet able to instantly recognize this kind of language as the deep state boot-licking propaganda that it so clearly is?

Yes. That was a riot too. To try and say either one was not a riot is ridiculous.

So tired of these traitors

Me, too. I don't even want to see the headlines. Who cares what they are doing?

At best, it was a disorderly protest.
..............................................
That’s exactly what it was, and by probably less than five percent of those who attended the rally!

I hope there is a lottery some day... for the privilege to pull the lever on this traitor.

What do I do about supporting the RNC? Because of the new president/chairperson I am ambivalent about where to put my contributions.

RNSC and RNCC keep wanting me to continue contributing like I did last year, but I am looking at alternatives like HUCK PAC.

I don’t want my money to support those who voted for impeachment.

If the GOP does not cast this man out, they are casting themselves out.

No burning, no looting, not a riot.

Yes, and the Republicans need to start confronting the Democrats about this on floor in the Senate and the House. Enough with the silence because of fear!

Everytime he opens his mouth he reconfirms my long held assertion that he is the most politically incompetent, flat footed, out of step moron that ever stumbled into politics.

He couldn’t care less about the constitution to begin with.

Do not give money to the RNC, NRCC or NRSC, they use it to elect Assistant Democrats.

January 6th was a textbook “mostly peaceful protest.” Except, of course for the ‘unarmed protester” shot dead by the police. That was the only real deadly violence of the day.
