Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) accused President Trump of attempting to “further inflame racial tensions” with his response to unrest in American cities.
“The comments and tweets over the past few days, including a retweet of a 2019 video clearly intended to further inflame racial tensions, are simply jaw-dropping,” Romney told The New York Times.

Certain Republicans do more damage than a Democrat. If there is any way the Senate can be secured without them, they should primaried out of the nomination. There are many decent Republicans in Utah who could secure this Senate seat for the GOP.
Romney isn't one of them.

It is a veritable rule among elites like Romney that racial unrest turns their political opponents into mealy-mouthed puppets so they stoke it whenever they need to. In the face of this Uniparty mafia the country and its law-abiding citizens become weaker but the elites become more powerful and richer. But President Trump is fighting back and gaining support with blacks so it’s panic time. I thank God for DJT. Literally.

Just go away, Mitt. You had your chance to win the White House and you blew it. Nowadays you might just keep yourself occupied in the children´s play area of the Senate chamber. Everything will be fine. So many toys to play with -- WOW!!

Romney, I am so thankful everyday that you did not become President. I was one time a supporter, but your true colors are showing. Put a C after your name. What a turncoat you turned out to be!

Mittens put down the brandy snifter, and changed his smoking jacket in order to grace us with his country club wisdom regarding racial tensions. For the life of me, I can’t understand how this tower of elitism wasn’t elected President.

Who the hell listens to Mittens, any more? The guy has used up his street cred, and everyone knows he's a pathetic wannabe, with no courage, no influence, no guts or leadership. He's like the idiot character out of Harry Potter... Lockhart or something. All looks no substance, big mouth.

Whoever he is he seems to be trying to turn up the violence by asserting that the person who is calling for a stop to the violence is calling for racism, so he, once known as mittens, is promoting violence.

Mitt Romney, just another exposed RINO who supports BLM & Antifa, both domestic terrorist organizations. President Trump is the only man that supports the American citizen, our flag and our country. Mitt Romney is so full of hate that he would rather see our country destroyed before he admits Trump is right. Got it.

Saying you will not put up with crap is not the same thing as inciting violence. Any non-liberal can grasp the difference. Romney is channeling his inner McCain. It is easy to hate those who have achieved your goal. A good person would put his country ahead of his own disappointment and envy. The Romneys, McCains and Hillarys are (or were) sad, deluded, snarling people.

I am always astounded whenever Mitt Romney gets the crazy idea that anybody gives a flying fig what Mitt Romney thinks. I always tell people that the deep dents in my nose aren't from wearing glasses; they're from having to hold my nose so tightly while voting for Romney in 2012.

The people who are rioting (not peaceful protesters) are NOT doing it because of any real racial inequality. They are doing it for power and control...their political agenda to further leftist demands. There are some people who truly think it's about race, but they are just useful brainwashed tools. They have been conditioned and indoctrinated into believing all the media hype.
