It should come as no surprise to Utahns or anyone who identifies as conservative that Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) did not vote along party lines when it came to the $1.7 trillion spending bill/omnibus package. Well, he did vote along party lines, just not the party with which he is affiliated. Romney took to Twitter to explain his rationale...If you couldn’t stand a political version of a time-share pitch, let me summarize it for you:- It would cost less to pass it this year than next. - Republicans aren’t organized enough to get a speaker together, let alone budgets. -...

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (TND) — Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, is convinced he would win a second term in the U.S. Senate if he runs again, despite failing twice at becoming the Republican nominee for president and being known for breaking from his GOP colleagues during certain standoffs with Democrats. "I’m convinced that if I run, I win," Romney told Politico while discussing his potential bid for reelection that would come up in 2024. Probably the most noteworthy divergence Romney has taken from his own party was when he voted in favor of impeaching former President Donald Trump, becoming the...

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said Thursday he would not support former President Donald Trump if he were to become the Republican nominee for president in 2024. “Absolutely not,” Romney told a reporter during an event on climate change in Washington, D.C. “Look, I voted to remove him from office twice.” “And it’s not just because he loses,” the senator said of his refusal to support Trump. “That’s my reason that I offer to other people who are big fans of his. But it’s also [that] he’s simply not a person who ought to have the reins of the government of...

Sen. Mitt Romney has once again cozied up to Democrats by recently condemning his Republican colleagues who are launching investigations into Hunter Biden. Romney told The Bulwark, he believes investigations by the now Republican-controlled House are a waste of time and resources. Romney would go on to say “I think the American people want us to tackle some of the big challenges we have—immigration, inflation, and so forth—and the other things that divert from those priorities I think are a waste of time.”

Sen. Mitt Romney (R.-Utah), who was the losing Republican presidential nominee in 2012, voted on Wednesday to move forward to a final vote in the Senate on the “Respect for Marriage Act,” which would recognize same-sex marriages in federal law. “While I believe in traditional marriage, Obergefell is and has been the law of the land upon which LGBTQ individuals have relied,” said Romney. “This legislation provides certainty to many LGBTQ Americans, and it signals that Congress—and I—esteem and love all of our fellow Americans equally.” “This legislation provides important protections for religious liberty—measures which are particularly important to protect...

Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-UT) aides are “so annoyed” that Sen. Mike Lee’s (R-UT) comments exposed how Romney’s lack of endorsement for Lee will help Never Trumper Evan McMullin. On Fox News, Lee urged Romney to back his reelection, noting that the rest of the Senate Republican Conference has endorsed his bid.

Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee on Tuesday urged his fellow GOP home state senator, Mitt Romney, to endorse his reelection campaign, asking him to "please get on board" as the two-term lawmaker finds himself in a competitive race against independent candidate Evan McMullin. During an appearance on the Fox News program "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Lee emphasized the importance of his race in helping Republicans regain a majority, something that he asked Romney — the party's 2012 presidential nominee — to take into account. Carlson asked Lee if he could just call Romney on the phone and explain that there was...

These people will get us all killed. Mitt Romney called on our NATO allies to prepare for a nuclear strike from Russia. The US has already invested tens of billions of dollars in military weapons to Ukraine. The New York Post reported: The US and its NATO allies should prepare a “devastating” response to potential Russian nuclear action, Sen. Mitt Romney said on Saturday. The call to action comes on the heels of threats from the Kremlin and warnings from Russian diplomats that the country’s Ukraine invasion could lead to a nuclear strike, the Utah Republican wrote in an op-ed...

Will he stay or will he go? Not even Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) can answer that question regarding a possible run for re-election in 2024. Romney told the Hill a second term is not really at the forefront of his current thinking. “I’m going to cross that bridge down the road. I haven’t given a lot of attention yet,” he said following his recent support for Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman to be elevated to the Supreme Court. As Breitbart News reported, Romney won gushing praise from President Joe Biden for standing with him behind Jackson’s confirmation. Romney...

President Biden on Friday singled out the three Republican senators who voted to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, praising them for setting aside partisanship in what has become a divisive process. “Not withstanding the harassment and attacks in the hearings, I always believed that a bipartisan vote was possible,” Biden said at an event with Jackson to celebrate her confirmation. “And I hope I don’t get them in trouble, and I mean it sincerely, but I want to thank three Republicans who voted for Judge Jackson.”

Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) said he hasn't decided how he will vote on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's nomination to the Supreme Court and that he's doing a "deeper dive" than the last time he assessed her. Romney voted against Jackson's appointment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in 2021 when she was nominated by President Joe Biden. However, the senator told CNN's Kasie Hunt in a clip aired on Monday that he hadn't decided how he'd cast his vote this time. If she's confirmed by the Senate, Jackson will become the first Black woman ever...

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) joined his Democrat colleagues on the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee in voting to keep the federal mask mandate in place for children as young as two-years-old. Romney voted against lifting the mask and vaccine mandates in the federal Head Start program during a HELP Committee hearing on the bipartisan PREVENT Pandemics Act

Sen. Mitt Romney joined his Democrat colleagues on the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee in voting to keep the federal mask mandate in place for children as young as two-years-old. Romney voted against lifting the mask and vaccine mandates in the federal Head Start program during a HELP Committee hearing on the PREVENT Pandemics Act. The PREVENT Pandemics Act takes “common-sense steps to act on lessons learned from the pandemic response.” according to a committee press release. Senator Mike Braun (R-IN) introduced an amendment to the legislation that would prevent the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services...

@costareports In private speech tonight at Cheney fundraiser, Senator Romney warned over 200 Republicans gathered in Northern Virginia of the ‘extraordinary challenge’ to preserve American democracy, with threats now abroad and at home, per 5 attendees... Attendees described Romney, the GOP’s 2012 nominee, as delivering the remarks as a warning for the group, which included many longtime members of the GOP establishment, all as U.S. confronts Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and as Trump continues to exert power inside the party... “We are really the only significant experiment in democracy and preserving liberal democracy is an extraordinary challenge,” Romney said, according...

Okay for the Hoft-haters:::Here is a link to the same information but a different source. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1503334079667658752.htmlhttps://tinyurl.com/2p9ejshh Tulsi Gabbard destroyed Mitt Romney in some early morning tweets today after Romney called Gabbard treasonous over the weekend for pointing out the Biolabs in Ukraine. In a Twitter storm this morning, Tulsi Gabbard destroyed RINO Senator Mitt Romney and called for him to do the right thing and resign. Over the weekend, Romney said that Gabbard’s treasonous lies may well cost lives. This was in response to Gabbard speaking out about the Biolabs in Ukraine.

@ggreenwald As we discussed, @TulsiGabbard didn't say *anything* that the US Govt. itself didn't say. She didn't say there were bio *weapons* in Ukraine. She warned there were unsecured dangerous pathogens there: what the US and its media loyalists say. That Mitt Romney -- who avoided Vietnam and then had his 5 sons avoid military service -- can descend into the sewer to accuse Lt. Col. Gabbard of ***treason*** shows how sick and repressive US liberal discourse is now. She's been accused of being a Kremlin agent for years.

@MittRomney you have called me a ‘treasonous liar’ for stating the fact that “there are 25+ US-funded biolabs in Ukraine which if breached would release & spread deadly pathogens to US/world” and therefore must be secured in order to prevent new pandemics. Bizarrely, you claim that securing these labs (or even calling for securing these labs) is treasonous and will lead to a loss of life, when the exact opposite is obviously true. The spread of pathogens is what will cause the loss of life, not the prevention of such spread. Senator Romney, please provide evidence that what I said...

A bit of news on this Sunday evening: Mitt Romney is doing Mitt Romney things again.The “severely conservative” senator from Utah decided to take to social media and trash Tulsi Gabbard. But he didn’t just disagree with her viewpoint. Rather, he actually accused her of treason.(related Mitt Romney Decides to Cosplay as Liz Cheney)Tulsi Gabbard is parroting false Russian propaganda. Her treasonous lies may well cost lives.— Mitt Romney (@MittRomney) March 13, 2022Given the timing of Romney’s outburst, it can only be in relation to one Gabbard comment because she’s only posted one thing in the last two days.
