Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Thursday called for the lessons of the Jan. 6, 2021, to be heeded as Washington observes the anniversary of the unprecedented Capitol attack, warning that "democracy is fragile."
"We ignore the lessons of January 6 at our own peril. Democracy is fragile; it cannot survive without leaders of integrity and character who care more about the strength of our Republic than about winning the next election," Romney said in a statement.
"I said last year that the best way we can show respect for voters who are upset is by telling them the truth," he added.
A senator that doesn't know we are not a democracy. How special he is.

Hmmm . . . thanks to the "Hill", always giving a platform for somebody like Romney to spew. Anyway, seems to me, both the Hill and Romnay has forgotten about all of the rioters who took over government buildings. There's quite a list of them should one only care to read a little and to tell the truth. The Police Station in Portland comes to mind . . . or how about the Capitol buildind in Wisconsin? Or when the protesters breached the fence surrounding the White House during Trump's Presidency? I can go on and on . . . but you Romney, sir . . . are as phony as a 3 dollar bill. Do you even know who Ashli Babbit was, Romney?

"democracy is fragile."
Especially when half the political leaders are communist
that are using the FBI as their America's KGB.

Pierre Delecto, when do you think you will get around to investigating Nanie's role in instigating J6? You know, the very individual who organized antifa rioters and capitol police who instigated the breach of the capitol? Any comment, Pierre Delecto, about the murder of Ashli Babbitt and Michael Leroy Byrd's unnecessary use of deadly force in the murder, J6 prisoner abuse, lack of due process, abuse of the guy who is dying in his cell and being denied medical care, and the other guy who was brutally beaten by prison guards and lost an eye over it? Wake up and get hold of Rep. Greene who can give you the low down on the prisoner abuse. Then get on your special soapbox, Pierre Delecto, and come clean with how abuse of these political prisoners will be stopped.

This is similar to their "racist" talk. They act as though we gather at the water cooler and talk about our plans to kidnap pelosi and the rest of the useless. Sort of like how we talk about chasing down blacks and Asians and tying them up out in the country before we douse them with gasoline and set them on fire. It's not happening folks. No one is talking about this or plotting anything or stocking up on "insurrection" supplies. Or "going to put you all back in chains" supplies. It's made up. Well, maybe not made up. This is deliberate manipulation on their part. We do talk about inflation, gas prices, the border, the mess they have made of covid, the supply side problems, crime at all levels, schools, feeding our families and home energy prices and on and on. Funny how they are all traumatized but the people in cities where blm burned down homes, business, cars, and took over neighborhood blocks saw no sympathy or support from local, state or federal agents. A pox on them. They believe if they say racism (white supremacy) and insurrection over and over they will win the next election. Right now the only "supplies" in my trunk are some bottles of Mt. Dew.

For once Mitt is right. If we ignore that the FBI and the Deep state organized and carried out a coup against President Trump, we will (and already are) facing our peril.

Mitt Romney is why I no longer trust the Republican Party. He and Ted Cruz trip over their tongues to slander the very base they say they support. Is it any wonder why our culture is dominated by America hating enemies with these two "leaders"? Leaders oh so ready willing and able to betray us, over and over and over again? MAGA or death.

What about the perils of a PCd transgenderized military, Gestapo-like FBI, open borders, runaway inflation, millions of people who left the workforce because welfare pays better, a looming $5 trillion electronic transfer to well connected democrats, surrender to china and so on. The country is falling apart and self-righteous Romney repeats a list of democrat talking points. BTW, Romney has a lifetime 35 percent D+ Immigration rating from Numbers USA. He used to have an F rating but is trying to cover his tracks on run-up to re-election.

Video; Biden tells how democrats stole the 2020 election and twice for Obama.
The Marxist Communist democrats, rino's, etc., are the real danger to America from within.
Biden himself with a slip of his tongue, for once told the truth of the Marxist Communist democrats and they are all guilty of treason.
October 2020, before the election; speaking to former Barack Obama staffers on Pod Save America, host Dan Pfeiffer asked Biden what his message was to people who have not yet voted.
https://youtu.be/C6u1uKznCYw
Biden's confession starts at time 17:40 on video interview.
Joe Biden: "Well, first of all, you know, uh, what really rankles, uh, my opponent is I say that, uh, the thing that bothers him most is he’s not a patch on Barack’s jeans."
"Secondly, we’re in a situation where we have put together — and you’d [sic] guys, did it for our, the president Obama’s administration, before this — we have put together, I think, the most extensive and and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics."
Biden did not correct himself after saying “voter fraud organization,” nor did the hosts attempt to correct or clarify his statement.

Lessons? You want a lesson? How's this:
The only real lesson from Jan 6 is that by the time the camel gets his nose in the tent, it's too late to keep him out. Likewise, by the time the electoral votes get to Congress for their ratification, it's too late to stop the theft of a presidential election.

I figured out the truth when I woke up on November 5th. The election had been stolen in the middle of the night.
Was there some other "truth" this America hating traitor wanted to share?
And no I didn't vote for him. I didn't like him even then.

The lesson I learned is that no matter how peaceful a conservative demonstration is you will be accused of rioting and insurrection so you might as well come locked and loaded. FMR

If Romney wants to figure out what a real insurrection looks like he should fly over to Kazakhstan and scope out the deadly insurrection situation there. When the leftist and socialist Democrats talk about saving “Our Democracy” from being destroyed by the wimpy Republicans if they win the upcoming elections, what the leftist and socialist Democrats are really telling the American people is that their radical leftist and socialist political agenda that they consider to be “their Democracy” will for the most part be dumped along with a lot of leftist and socialist Democrat politicians being defeated and put out to pasture.

If Romney is interested in the truth, then he needs to start asking, publicly, why the J6 committee is not calling Ray Epps and John Sullivan to testify, or why their cell phone communications aren't being reviewed to see who they were communicating with days prior, and the day-of the event.
Also, ask how the Capitol was cleared? Did those who entered leave on their own, or was the SWAT team called in to extricate them from the building because they refused to leave?
(hint: they entered around 12:15 pm and the entire building was cleared by 4pm- maybe earlier without further incident).
Then, I'd like to know who scaled the Capitol walls? That seems extreme and not something the average person would do. Especially when there are steps nearby.

Long standing member of the wet finger brigade, waiting until everything dies down before he comes out with his own self-serving remarks. We aren't a democracy Sen. Delecto and never have been. We were designed to be a Representative Republic with a constitution to back it all up. You are a greasy piece of work Senator, and you need to go into oblivion where you belong.

Don't preach to me Mitt Romney I already regret giving my vote to you. I agree with one poster who said he thinks the lazy, shiftless, gay obsessed, squirrel pawed, stair prancing Obama made a better president. Here's what I think of your assessment of Jan. 6, get in a huddle with Ted Cruz, since you both hate the republican base, and debate Jan. 6th among yourselves.
A question, is January 6th going to be an anniversary celebrated forever like Juneteenth or Kwanzaa something totally made up and false? MAGA FMR

Mitt.... Mitt... Mitt...stop listening to your magic underwear. It's hard to believe the highly independent people of Utah want what you are espousing. You are following the politics of Michigan and Massachusetts, two states headed in the wrong direction. I'll bet you support lockdowns and mandatory vaccinations, don't you? Time for Utah to send you into retirement.

What does Jan 6 have to do with our Republic. We have evidence of the capitol secuirty guards exploding little bombs in the midst of people who were seen as if they were taking a tour of the place. We have THREE dead bodies (one shot, and two beaten to death) by the security guards. All three of the woman were unarmed. All of this to make it appear that the President was attempting a coup when he in, fact, was trying to let Americans see that they had been the victims of a fraud election.

The lessons are that the FBI, CIA, DOJ, Elected Democrats, some Capital Police officers and the media will stop at nothing to regain power. And all of it can and will be turned on you, Mittens, if you step out of line.

It is the same lesson-learned from all of the summer of 2020 riots; when those who are supposed to be ''in-charge'' refuse to do their jobs to maintain civic order it creates a vacuum with undesirable results.
The difference in this instance is that it was Nancy Pelosi's office was vandalized and her laptop stolen, instead of businesses and property belonging to us lowly peasants. In this case the elites got a taste of their own medicine. Hopefully, they will remember what it felt like the next time they condone riots and looting in cities where they, themselves, don't happen to be located.

Dittos #12 et al.
"Mittens' " throwing the second and third Presidential debates, after "McPain" shutting down his campaign in August 2008, are what caused me to throw up my hands at the feckless "Washington Generals" (aka the GOP), and to start beating the drum for a new party.
Nothing - including all of President DJT's futile reform efforts - has convinced me that the globalist-donor controlled GOP can ever be reformed! Yes, the drawbacks of a new party are well known, and it's a very steep hill to climb, but we have no choice if we wish to save this Republic for our children and grandchildren.
The sand of opportunity has just about slipped through the hourglass. IMO, NOvember 8th is "make or break" for our future.

By the way, the other day, my daughter said she heard Brandon blabbing away on TV, and she said she didn’t know what he was talking about She knew that January 6 was not on anyone’s radar except the lying Democrats.
