Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said on Wednesday that he expressed his appreciation to Officer Eugene Goodman for directing him to safety during last month’s Capitol riot.
And what will you say to Officer Goodman when 40 or so of your Republican colleagues vote to acquit the motherfucker who put both of your lives in danger by making the insurrection possible?
Tell us, Mitt.
There can be no doubt that if the Trump’s actions were taken by a Democrat, the vote would be 100-0 to impeach. I’m certain Sen. Romney will vote to convict and four or five other Republicans, but that’s it.
“I was very fortunate indeed that Officer Goodman was there to get me in the right direction,” Romney said. “Trump’s brainwashed batshit crazy mob would have have murdered me if they’d captured me.”
Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney turn out to have souls. Go figure…
The sober man at the ongoing bacchanale.
It’s hard to believe Mitt is still part of this party…especially having to ‘share’ Utah with someone like Mike Lee.
I’m guessing we’ll be in Suzie Collins land then: it’ll be very concerning. (ed.)
I’d like to think that by secret ballot, at least 40 GQP Senators would vote to convict. But having to have their vote public, makes their spines and morals disappear like dust in the wind.
I do appreciate this new Mitt, but whenever tempted to think of him as a moderate I recall that is only when compared to other Republicans; i.e., he built his fortune as an asset-stripper – sucking the life out of struggling companies up to and including their pension funds – and, before Trump, was the most prolific liar in the presidential wannabe queue; e.g., https://thebaffler.com/salvos/the-long-con
Perhaps Senator Romney should rethink his party affiliation.
So, 40+ U.S. senators will go on record as being fascists? That is pretty amazing.
Murk was shaken by the videos. I know that…
Did TPM lose their copyeditor or something?
The Capitol Police interfered with the assassination of a US senator by the “patriots.” Yet another example of today’s “cancel culture.” Deep state worse than they thought.
Did the planet earth shake on its axis for a moment?
After first thanking God and Joseph Smith, Mitt had a little bit left over for the guy who actually saved his life.
What a guy.
As I commented on another site. If you are deep in a cavern under Middle Earth and a balrog is approaching, if a couple of orcs offer their assistance you don’t hesitate to say yes! On MSNBC, Charlie Sykes (Another questionable figure…) made the great point that saving the U.S. will require accepting help from a lot of people who are: as he put it it, “…late to the party”.
I expect many more by the time the trial is over.
Holy crap Mitt. If the insurgents had caught you after the things you said they would have torn you limb from limb. No snark. But an Officer just happened to be there to direct you away from the RWNJ mob that was cranked up to eleven. You should thank your magic underwear.
