Mitt Romney: U.S. Capitol Riot Was ‘an Insurrection Against the Constitution’
Breitbart ^ | May 15, 2021 | Katherine Rodriguez

Posted on 05/15/2021 5:00:43 PM PDT by White Lives Matter

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) called the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol an “insurrection against the Constitution,” while other Republicans downplayed the riot’s significance.

Romney’s comments came as several Republicans, including Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), and Rep. Jody Hice Norman (R-GA), minimized the violence or made false claims about the attack.

Clyde said during a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing Wednesday that calling what took place on January 6 “an insurrection” was “a boldface lie.”

Okay, I guess I needed to read it again more carefully.

It looks like the writer doesn't cover politics much.

I doubt she reflects the site's political coverage.

Maybe she's hoping for a job in the mainstream media.

Why don’t Freepers compare the actual history of the GOPe and Democrat parties and ditch talk radio unhistory

You find quickly since 1860 the GOPe has had few stars and early on was run by radicals

One could argue

Lincoln....I’m ambivalent .....I’d sure take him over his radical peers

Coolidge

Teddy

Ike

Reagan

And Donaldus Magnus only ones worth talking about

That is a shitty track record folks

Tons of moderates and a more than a few more liberal than democrats used to be

Don’t fall for the lies

Trump ran as Republican cause he and no real choice

He does now

We either purge the uniparty or we continue to lose

Seems to me now democrats are wholly radicalized except Manchin

The GOPe is still majority moderates uniparty types who hate Trump and pretend to be tea party or moral majority

Trump is a party to himself

He could accomplish this...I wish he would....I don’t think the GOPe will ever not betray him

Look at last 5 years....the GOPe furiously worked to defeat great victories for us

And now some here are acting like that never happened

F that S

“Teddy”

Teddy Roosevelt actually initiated many of the policies that Woodrow Wilson routinely gets blamed/credited for by the Beck crowd.

The income tax. TR supported it, and the Constitutional amendment it required began during his administration.

Creating the Federal Reserve. The Aldrich–Vreeland Act of 1907 created the National Monetary Commission. That Commission basically wrote the Federal Reserve Act.

The United States as an international military power. Teddy sent the Great White Fleet on a 14 month global tour a decade before Wilson would send the U.S. Army to Europe during World War One.

Expansion of federal government. The FDA started under Teddy. The Hepburn Act increased the power of the ICC. Government purchase of National Parks and National Forests

Whether or not these policies are good or bad is up for debate, but they are expansions of federal power and began under TR.

In 1912 Teddy went on the run again for President under the Bull Moose banner, the official name of which was the Progressive Party. He siphoned off progressive Republican votes from Taft, which ended up giving the election to Woodrow Wilson.

By 1932 many of those Republican progressives had become Democrats to join the administration of Teddy’s cousin FDR. But not all. Margaret Sanger, certainly a cultural progressive, was an important member of the Arizona Republican Women. She and Goldwater’s first wife opened the first birth control clinic in that state. If that surprises, I think that if you dig into the history of the eugenics movement you’ll find that it has roots in the Republican Northeast.

Donations directly to good candidates’ campaigns. And be careful about PACs. PACs, RNC, etc., fund people like Cheney and Romney.

Do you know the names of the Senators who are supporting the “bipartisan” infrastructure bill?

I want the call them. I also want to make sure they aren’t one of the ones I’m considering sending a donation to.
