I don't believe a thing Mitt Romney says. He voted to convict because he can't afford to loose fundraising contacts.
mattgriffin18411
One of the few actual Republicans that are left
softballguy
Out-of-fucks Mitt is so much better a politician than the National Review chimp from 2012.
Imkeepingthisusername
I thought he was the bad guy when he ran for president. See how fast things have changed under Trump. Now he's the class act of the GOP.
Johnny5dicks
So many traitors masquerading as GOP

DOJ should bring criminal charges against Chief Cheeto now! If they don't, we'll see this again and next time, it might be successful.

You should see the Facebook comments on his recent posts. A lot of idiots out there

If the mob got ahold of military hardware and dropped a 1000lb bomb on congress, they'd still find him not guilty.

Mitt Romney, I love/hate you so much

Mitt seems to have an actual backbone, a rarity these days in the Republican party.
csullivan
He’s not a hero. He was complicit in pushing through Amy Coney Barrett. So fuck this guy.
DarkVoivod
Funny how this man only seems to show integrity when it absolutly won't change anything. Politicians lile him paved the way to 2016.

Any one that votes to protect trump is a traitor to America. None of them are patriots and should all be exiled from the nation for treason.

Altho' knowing the futility, Romney voted his conscience, despite possible censure from his party. I can respect that.
cainofdreaming
Would he have if he hadn't known it was futile, tho?
MatthewBecker
Mitt want from the poster boy of the GOP to being the only sane person in the circus
amagiciannamedgob
He's maybe the least insane, but he's still insane. An absolute piece of shit. Not as bad as Mitch, still a human dumpster fire.
iliketotellabsurdconspiracies
Don’t be fooled. When the vote mattered most, he wasn’t there. He only crosses the isle when he knows it won’t hurt his party’s agenda.
roundandround
It not even the agenda, he's set with his mormon base. He's better off taking a path of morality over party to keep in power.
I’d like to believe that. We will see.
Noob3rts
I wonder who they will put forward for the GOP in the next four years.

The governors and senators that supported the insurrection. Just watch. The primaries and nomination are a "reward" for their treason.
chefryank
As a Georgian who went blue, fuck around and find out.
Apollymkatistrafia
They voted to acquit, which leads me to think they'll try push dt again, if their q-pushers don't con them into a March 5 attempt.
anglarite
Trump. They have no choice. If he decides to split the party they get never elected again and they know it.
Then they lose.... again
TheFatAussieGuy
Hawley probably.
SadisticTrout
That is truly terrifying
HaveGinWillBabble
I just thought of something even worse. Hawley as presidential nominee with Taylor Greene as VP. They'd be the anti Biden and Harris.

I wonder how GQP senators feel knowing literally any of them could have been killed in the attack and none of the others would have 1/
milkymilkmilky
I believe that most of them knew clearly. But they also know that by pandering to Trump crowds will continue filling their pockets with $$$.
Killed by their own supporters.

Having seen the alt as QOP i prefer that. It doesn't include any positive adjectives.
changed their position in the slightest. 2/2
whatpassesforclever
They feel no different, because that’s sticking to the plan they came up with in the huddle.
AllGloryToTheDarkLord
They will. Because obviously this WILL happen again. And next time they'll be slightly less inept and actually just start the murdering
sqabbit
Cuz those trump supporters would just come to their house or threaten their family if they voted against trump
They're scared shitless cowards
elson12
Some GOP said that their colleagues told them that they afraid Trump's supporters would hurt them if they don't back Trump's fraud claim 1/
It stands to reason they would be more afraid to convict Trump. 2/

And the ones who did vote to impeach. I don't hear any violence against them happening.
justeandj
Want some screenshots? It's like they've been given a green light for what they did. All 10 Reps+ 7 Senate+ Mitch bc of that speech he gave.
Have the pubs who voted to impeach been physically attacked yet?
Is that where the line is? Physical attack? They have to be physically attacked before anyone cares?
19xx
were the people who stormed the capitol armed with guns ?
Some were, as it happens, but boy what a stupid thing to say, as if a mob couldn’t beat someone to death.
but this mob didn't.. you might be thinking of the 2020 summer protest
I was wondering how you could be so deluded, but found out right wing outlets are trying to say Brian Sicknick died of allergies. Gross.
little thing called due process. So far no evidence linking the 'mob'. ill wait official report on cause of death
Do you think guns are the only weapons that can kill people?
harsh language?
TChallaVanDam
Feel free to google the 5 deaths that resulted from the storming of the capital.
https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-false-and-exaggerated-claims
not that any one expects you read past any headline.. gosh.. that would be developing a opnioin of your own
DropKickHead
A police officer was murdered anyways. You don't need guns to kill people when you have an angry mob
back in 2020, when people stormed a city and killed police we just called it protesting
I still call that murder.
what was the cause of death for that police officer? go ahead ill wait
ThMick
No, we called it murder. Stop fucking *lying*.
round two.. what was the cause of death for that police officer? go ahead ill wait

Dude, he isn’t really bipartisan. Look at the times he’s crossed the isle- only if Republicans will win anyway. He’s trying to LOOK moderate
yodafromfuturepast
That is still better than those that don't even try. You don't have to love him but he IS better than the other spineless trash.
INeverWaitForIt
Correct. Romney is trying to appear reasonable (by GOP standards), but he is still 100% a Good Republican. Still voted for Barrett.
He WILL screw you sooner or later if he gets an ounce of power, as is true of all Republicans.
Romney is on a committee responsible for election in 2024. Romney is going to run on a moderate Republicans ticket, but it’s a lie.
NachoIskerka
Romney: Makes public option healthcare in Mass, marches with BLM protestors and shut down Trump travel bans. Internet:NO! HES NOT MODERAT-
wintercoat
He was against both "Romneycare" and legalizing gay marriage, only hopping on board when they were guaranteed to pass and taking the credit.
To which my point is- yeah, he's a republican. he wouldnt be part of that party if he didnt align with it most, but he has SOME nuance.
I expect a moderate to vote mostly with their party. However, guy needs to vote on issues that come down to the wire to turn my opinion.
monjamon
I'm sorry we wasted your time, Mitt. So sorry.
JoeT85
MItt Romney seems to have some character. I don't believe everything he does, he seems to be decent human. I like that.
Nandabun
I though Romney was one of the issues cunts.
And by this, I mean cunts who make issues lol.
eddbrowne
I look forward to Donald's civil and criminal cases for wrongful death; and more.
NY Southern district are drooling waiting for him. George is considering too. :)
George: A diminutive of the female given names Georgina or Georgia.
TheatreStreet
If you lost someone to covid you can sue him personally, think about suing
Mimsey
Don't buy his shit. He only votes against the GOP when his vote doesn't matter. Had he been the deciding vote he would have voted to acquit.
rjkardo
It is called doing a "McCain".
TILImgurIsAwesome
Yeah, he's a pretty solid piece of crap. People are quick to forget the things he said and did when running for president against trump.
He's been doing this for a few years. He's posturing himself to be the "sane" part of the GOP so that when trump-ism finally dies...
DrInkDrinker
You know, I'd be ok with a sane conservative party. I disagree with them, but I'm willing to have debates in good faith & compromise fairly.
he can "redeem" the party. They'll throw out the jackasses like Graham and Cruz and pretend Romney represents REAL conservatism.
LurkerOfDarkness
*republicanism, their party has 0 connection to conservatism.
nacx12
I’m not saying I’d love it, but damned if it wouldn’t be an improvement.
Violaxanthin
Who will? If anything I see the crazies taking over. Utah will probably primary Romney in 2024, he is not popular with Repubs here.
He plays at being a level-headed, responsible, common-sense conservative that dissents against trump and what he stands for...
but every single time his vote has actually mattered he has voted WITH trump and the GOP, not against it.
