Holy shit. Mitt Romney sent a text to "Leader" Mitch McConnell before January 6th, saying, Trump supporters would "storm the Capitol" and urged Mitch McConnell to ensure "sufficient security plans are in place." Mitch McConnell NEVER responded. Nothing screams more Mitch McConnell than this.
BIG news buried in the Romney piece: he says fake independent #NoLabelsOrg ticket would “only elect Trump.” 🎯
Says he has lobbied Joe Manchin “many times” against it.
Mitt Romney says he will not seek a second term in the Senate
In an interview with The Washington Post, Romney is critical of criminal defendant Trump and he says most Republicans are drawn to a “populist demagogue message.”
A very large portion of my party, republicans really do not believe in the Constitution.
Republicans really don't believe in the Constitution.
See all the crimes against fellow Americans show that.
91 FELONY COUNTS. Violations of the Espionage Act, RICO conspiracy, fraudulent electors, the January 6th coup.
Anyone see it yet?
News flash lead republican says republicans are fascist. The new American nazis.
A very large portion of my party,” he told me one day, “really doesn’t believe in the Constitution.” We were a few months removed from an attempted #coup instigated by Republican leaders.
A life long republican admits what we see with our eye, what we lived through... a coup directed by the criminal defendant.
Romney is informed of a conversation with a high-ranking Pentagon official. Law enforcement has been tracking online chatter among right-wing extremists who appear to be planning something bad on the day of Donald Trump’s upcoming rally in Washington, D.C. donald has been telling them the election was stolen; now they’re coming to steal it back. There’s talk of gun smuggling, of bombs and arson, of targeting the traitors in Congress who are responsible for this travesty.
Republicans tried to overthrow the government, ambushed the Capitol Police, members of Congress and staff and launched the violent attack.
@skykiss When are people going to wake up and realize that politicians are only it for themselves? If it doesn't serve their self-interests, they're not going to care. That's on both sides of the aisle.
One Republican congressman confided to Mitt Romney that he wanted to vote for Trump’s second impeachment, but chose not to out of fear for his family’s safety."
More than a few confided that they knew the criminal defendant was guilty.
It’s all cowardice. Call out the criminal defendant. Call out the cowardice of your fellow republican members. Scream and yell and curse about the insanity of it. The danger of it. Seek law enforcement to protect you and your family (Congress must have pretty good security!) then scream and yell about needing to do that! Quietly voting to acquit out of fear when you know you should have convicted him is an absolute failure to do your duty to the Constitution. You’re simply enabling the fucking monsters.
@skykiss It is cowardice, but I tend to think its more them being afraid of losing thier cushy jobs. Saying they were afraid is them building an escape into thier culpability. "See I was on your side all along. vote me in again!"
@skykiss
OTOH, maybe there could have been something that screamed URGENT! better than a text. I doubt that military officials when raising the DEFCON level simply text one another. It seems like a mild, milquetoasty vehicle for concern…somewhat like Romney himself, come to think of it.
