Mitt Romney Supports Changing Military Bases’ Confederate Names ‘in Some Cases’
Breitbart ^ | June 11 2020 | JOSHUA CAPLAN

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) on Thursday expressed support for removing the names of Confederate figures from at least some U.S. military bases.

Speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill, Romney said he would support a measure to rename military bases honoring confederate leaders “in some cases.” When asked about President Trump’s blanket opposition to renaming bases, he replied: that’s “not where I’d be.”

On Wednesday, President Trump dismissed calls to renaming bases named after Confederate figures, declaring: “Our history as the Greatest Nation in the World will not be tampered with.”

Wuss. How about removing Joey Smith and Brigham Young from Mormon History because they were racists.

They should replace the names of the Confederates with whichever Union general defeated them.

Wow Mitt in his own mind , thinks he’s on the right side of History by cleansing the names of any people who are associated with the Confederacy.

He sure seems eager to get out there early on with this issue so he can prove that he is liberal.

Great point! Mormonism did not believe blacks could be redeemed until the 70s

Mitt the s**t looks like such a homo walking around with a maxi pad strapped to his multiple mouths. He’s the poster-fag for nutless wonder “republicans” everywhere. I wonder if it’s a Mor_on “magic panties” style facial maxi.

This is the height of hypocrisy for Democrats and feckless Republicans. Why stop at confederate general names? Why not get ride of the traitorous political party that gave us the confederacy, civil war, Ku klux klan, etc....Democratic Party

RE:”And that moron liar Ryan as VP...? “

Remember his fake reform medicare plan?
It wasnt even a bill, it was a non-binding resolution.

Asked about that Ryan replied ‘It's a moral document’

Rush defended it so many here followed him at the time, when I was posting that it was a fake.

Let’s see now....Romney managed to avoid military service,did he not? I,and many,many others of that generation weren’t *nearly* so lucky.So where does he have the *slightest* credibility on military matters?
