Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Monday said his party has “an embarrassingly small share of African American votes” and would like to change that, one day after he marched in a protest in Washington.
Romney said he is working with several Republican colleagues on legislation to “make some changes to the way we do our policing” in an effort to crack down on aberrant officers who violate civil rights or use excessive force against people of certain races.
But Romney said he didn’t march for the cause Sunday because of politics but because he felt it was his moral duty

Didn't we read yesterday that 40% of minorities would vote for Pres. Trump?
Romney is tossing sand and it is going in his eyes.

This from the guy who got fewer black votes in 2012 than Trump did in 2016.

I watched the video clip with Mark Levin and Shelby Steele and "white guilt" is referenced. Mitt Romney and others must be suffering from white guilt.
Mitt Romney had a chance to do something different while being relevant in politics. He did no such thing. Now, he runs around saying "he wants to be part of change between black voters and GOP."
No, Mitt you are the problem. We have a President who is making real change and he wants that for ALL Americans. You know who stands in the way? RINO's like you, liberals and Democrats. All of you politicians (example Joe Biden Ukraine) have been lining your own pockets but doing nothing for the American people. That includes minority groups as well as Caucasian.
Mitt, you ran for president and lost. Get over it. There is an expression "Lead, Follow, Or Get Out of the Way." If you don't want to follow, then I suggest you get out of the way.

Despite all of this kneeling and squealing, President Trump's support appears to be rising among African Americans.

Rummey never stirred himself to criticize BO. Yet now he is like a whack-a-mole, popping up for every occasion with his synthetic outrage. The more we see of Myth the more we realize how "oily" he is. As the article and others have pointed out, Trump did better than Rummey with Blacks, and also with all non whites.Trump's latest polls, for what they are worth, are showing rising support from Blacks and Hispanics. Trump HAS taken actions to help Blacks, a better economic picture for them, economic opportunity zones, and consideration of easing criminal incarceration. Rummey's mealy mouthed criticism and "me too" support is pathetic. Consider that the dems took down the oh-so-wise Rummey with a dog in a cage on top of a car and Myth couldn't come up with an effective answer to it. That is an effective image of Rummey, HE is the yappy RINO dog in a cage on the top of Trump's Republican bus.
Part of what happened with BO's spying operation was Rummey's fault. He shook up BO's invincible image in the 2012 election, but failed to remove him. The narcissistic BO vowed that wouldn't happen again and decided to prevent it by ALL means.

Doesn't someone actually have to be a republican to be a spokesman for them to any group?

I've learned the horrible truth about McCain.
I've seen Romney's true political leanings.
I've finally realized the agenda of the Bush family.
I actually voted for all of these men!
Back during the tea party years I changed my voting status to independent. I feel good about that.
I can count the republicans I am proud of on two hands.

Why is no one talking about reforming the black community? Pelosi and her cabal knelt in congress yesterday in order to honor Floyd, a lifelong criminal and druggie. Then she read the names of black men killed by police officers over the last few years, all of whom were committing crimes and many who were resisting arrest. Why does the left and the black community honor these thugs? Why does Floyd get more funerals than John McCain? Why were 16 blacks killed in one day in Chicago - by other blacks?
Nothing, absolutely NOTHING, is going to improve for the black community until they decide to reform themselves. Why is no one talking about that?

As for you Pierre Delecto, you would be much better off by being part of the change between all minorities and how inner city dims have brain washed them to keep them voting for more dims.

This coming from Pierre Delecto, a Mormon of the Mormons?? Mormons don't exactly have a stellar track record when it comes to race relations. Mormons only recently discovered blacks could be part of the Moroni cult when Brigham Young University needed fast running backs.

Mitt really needs to pick up a significant number of black voters. After all, he is doing a great job of losing a lot of republican votes so he needs to replace them. In this instance, the math doesn't seem destined to work out in his favor.

Mittens, I voted for you in 2012 because I knew how awful and dangerous Obama was. I even stood for hours in a field north of Philadelphia waiting to hear you speak. You're nothing but a glossy cowardly swamp dweller. You join the dems when you feel it's in your immediate best interest. Haven't you heard Mitt, you're not even a has been, you're a never was. And you never will be.

Romney has fallen into the same trap as McCain. He can be the media darling for attacking his own Party as long as he doesn’t get above himself and run for President. Obviously He learned nothing from that experience. When you become desperate enough for attention to join the enemy you are finished. Neither side wants you.

What a panderer and virtue signaler. Do you think black folks will believe him? He's coming across as a opportunist. All of a sudden he feels a moral duty. There''s an old saying...Don't tell me, show me. Character is doing something good when nobody knows about it or is looking. That's not Romney's style.

Always looking for a scam scheme angle to feed his pathetic ego. If you were popular you wouldn’t need a niche sector of society to grow popularity. It is time to let go Mittens. You’ve had your day in the sun. Fade away and leave leading this country to real leaders.

Sure, here are some things to change. The blacks are unsurpassed in extorting money from the government and business, many trillions every year. I would like to see all that money spent on legitimate government functions, or returned to the taxpayers. Here is more to consider. I have heard that blacks have problems for 7 decades. Frankly, I have had it up over the head listening to it. In future, I ask to have the rest of the way in peace, and have the blacks take their problems and go deal with them at their expense.

The only change we need from Romney is a change from being a Senator to NOT being a Senator.
That would be a really welcomed change.

Well Mittens, if you want to be a Democrap why don't you JUST DO IT? You don't need a Nike Swoosh in your ear, all you have to do is change your underwear!
By the way, Blacks have been lied to so much by the Democraps it is the primary reason they are discriminated against, whether on purpose or by omission. Of course they're peeved about their treatment, the Democraps started the KKK, Jim Crow, Welfare, Murdering the black babies via Planned Parenthood...the list is endless. Go ahead, you deserve each other!
