Romney Tried To Blackmail Republicans To Support Partisan Jan. 6 Commission
2021-06-01
[TRENDINGPOLITICS] Utah Republican Sen. Willard Mitt Romney, aka Pierre Delecto
...former governor of Massachussetts, the Publican nominee for president in 2012, now Senator from Utah. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals. He is currently a trans Republican and a member in good standing of the Never Trump Party, attempting to assume the mantle of the late John McCain...
has found a way to disappoint conservatives — again.

A new report from a local news outlet reveals that Romney tried to emotionally blackmail Republican politicians into supporting Democrats’ insanely partisan January 6th investigation commission.

Romney "emotional blackmailed" Republican politicians in a publicity stunt by meeting with a widow of a now-dead security guard who used to work at the U.S. Capitol when the January 6th protest happened.

Then, Romney exploited the mother and used what she said to "convince" Republicans to support the highly partisan commission.

Romney had a meeting with the widow of Brain Sicknick, who served as a security guard who died just weeks after working during the January 6th Capitol protests.

#7  Not really a disappointment if not a surprise.

Bet the wording was that veiled threat language used by his peers.

#5  I'm pretty sure if a Conservative Mormon was in the primaries Romney would lose. I'm not sure what would happen if a non-Mormon goes up against him in Utah.

#1  ....Good thing for us he's not a Republican.

In all honesty, I really think that the only reason he hasn't switched parties is that the Good people Of Utah would toss him out on his a$$ the first chance they got.
