    I’m proud of @MittRomney for this stance. Flame me if you want. This was a very strong stance. The right one.https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1084944518649208832 …

    Mitt Romney tells me there’s NO place in the GOP or Congress for Steve King, calling on him to resign. “I think he ought to step aside and I think Congress ought to make it very clear he has no place there.”

        No flames, good sir; just a warm reminder that Romney is great at sounding tough right up until the GOP wants him to behave badly. Then he loves Trump again. When he states he's in favor of impeachment, I'll call his bluff. Till then? Romney's word doesn't mean much.

        If Romney believes King should resign over this shouldn’t he be brave enough to say Trump should resign or be impeached for all he’s said or done and how he’s divided country. Calling for King’s political head won’t expiate sins of Trump and his enabler Republicans.

        I’m not sure that I would have used the words “I’m proud.” You can commend his stance without investing self.

        No wonder so many think you are fake - he made this comment days after King's comments & only after being repeatedly called out on his silence. Amazing that he could immediately call out Rep Tlaib but this takes days. And then you give him praise. Unbelievable.

        It’s a good response, but he also courted King in 2012 for his Presidential race, since King has lots of clout in Iowa. The silver lining here seems to be that if anything, this sets a precedent for other congress members to see similar consequences for their racism.

        So, it’s good, but Romney is no hero. He’s just smart enough to know that he can’t give a weak response.

        Steve King is exactly the same white nationalist he was six years ago, when Romney gave him a ringing endorsement on campaign trail. All that's changed (slightly) is explicitness of King's language. Romney can't be unaware of this. https://twitter.com/WilliamPieper/status/1084969735983382528 …

        What about #DonaldTrump's racist rants like the recent one about #WoundedKnee? The #GOP standard for unacceptable comments varies depending on the person and circumstances. #GOPHypocrisy

        There’s nothing wrong with the stance but why’d it take so long (and a lot of public outcry) for him to make it? King didn’t just become racist in 2019, dude’s been racist...

        They support the same platform. Romney just doesn't like it when they say the quiet parts loud. It makes it harder to strip the country for parts.
