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.”

The riot was not a riot afterall, a major portion of the participants were BLM and Antifa followers wearing Trump hats and other garments.

I believe members of the Antifa/BLM drew the peaceful Trump supporters into more aggressive behavior. Ultimately, they led the Trump supporters inside the Capitol. For the ignorant MAGA crowd, it was a tour of the building. They did not realize that it was a trap so their act would be painted as an insurrection. Antifa/BLM knew how to get the crowd to do what they wanted. This tactic was well perfected in the streets of America’s cities during the summer.

Romney is exploiting the mischaracterized smear of the Capital protest. He needs to get a real job.

So all those police injuries

Yes, that was made up. Among the 'causalties' was someone who died weeks later from conditions unrelated to Jan 5, and one was a suicide a month later.

and the 400 people (and counting) that have been charged is just all made up

Oh no, THAT part is QUITE real.

Of course Nazi Germany and Stalins Russia charged a whole bunch of people, too.

I'd wager everything I own that Trump is 20 times more popular in Utah today than is Pierre Delecto.

Romney will NEVER be POTUS. He should just give it up.

Though he might be posturing for a party switch...

Romney is like a hemorrhoid.

He is a pain in the ass for years until one decides to get rid of it. Post surgery hurts like hell. It is worth it!

Insurrection has been redefined by Webster’s as a gathering where one innocent unarmed civilian is killed by a law officer.
