Romney calls for nation to 'get behind' Biden
CNN ^ | Nov 8 | By Devan Cole and Veronica Stracqualursi

Posted on 11/08/2020 10:24:28 AM PST by RandFan

Republican Sen. Mitt Romney on Sunday called for the country to "get behind" President-elect Joe Biden and said he has seen no evidence of widespread voter fraud, even as President Donald Trump has pushed for election-related lawsuits and refused to concede the election.

"I think we get behind the new president, unless for some reason that's overturned, we get behind the new president and wish him the very best," Romney, who was the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."

While CNN and other networks projected Saturday that Biden will become the 46th President of the United States and Kamala Harris will become vice president, Trump has pushed his attorneys to pursue legal challenges that would delay formal certification of the results. And as his path to reelection narrowed, the President pushed baseless claims of voter fraud -- claims Romney cast doubt on Sunday.

"I do believe, however, that it's destructive to the cause of democracy to suggest widespread fraud or corruption. There's just no evidence of that at this stage. And I think it's important for us to recognize that the world is watching," Romney said.

I already wrote Romney a letter but on this point I am with Mark Levine, God forbid Biden actually becomes president but after 4 years of not giving Trump a minute of peace we
Levine say she will lead the new resistance. That is what we need to start talking about!

Mittens is the ultimate RINO, with Charlie Baker of MA a close second.

The only way we’ll get behind chinajo is if we’re pushing him out of the White House.

Romney must have told Ryan to let Biden win the 2012 debate for v.p.

I often have felt that McPain voted for Obama in 2008.

Perot and Admiral Stockdale were strong proponents of abortion.

Ironically, the best speech by far of the 2012 GOP Convention was the speech by Clint Eastwood to the empty chair where he used that metaphor.

And, as we all know, Donald trump contributed generously to that campaign and Romney has ObaMao on the ropes after the first debate and proceeded to throw the game.

Romney's current call, now that he has outed himself as a Never Trumper POS means no more than if it were coming from Nancy Pelosi.

Someone clever with memes (not me) do one with the Chinese flag and Mitt in the foreground saying “I, for one, welcome our new overlords.”

The only time I would get behind Joe Biden is if he visited the Grand Canyon at the same time as me.

Uhh, actually you have it completely backwards Mitt. It’s destructive to the cause of democracy to allow widespread fraud or corruption.

So CNN thinks romney will tell us what to do? Screw Romney he’s not the boss of me. If Stealin Joe Stalin manages to get in I still will ignore him just like I did with that other fellow travler.

He also wants, like half of DC apparently, for his dirty dealings and coup/civil war-profiteering in spots like the Ukraine to never get exposed.

Many of us who voted for Perot do regret it. We gave us Clinton, who turned my beloved birthplace into a city that I felt unclean visiting for many years.
