‘You don’t belong here’: Romney and Santos in tense State of Union exchange
Guardian ^ | 2/7/2023 | Martin Pengelly

...On Tuesday night, as senators entered the House chamber before Biden’s speech began, Santos and Romney were seen to speak for about 10 seconds.

Efforts at lipreading spread across the internet. Most thought Romney said “You ought to be embarrassed”, or similar. CNN reported that someone who witnessed the exchange said Romney told Santos: “You don’t belong here.”

Santos continued speaking to Romney as the senator walked away.

After Biden’s speech, in a scrum of reporters, Romney was asked about the exchange. Confirming he said “You don’t belong here,” he added: “He shouldn’t be in Congress.”

Biden’s academic resume, as well as his virtually all of his anecdotes, are completely false or plagiarized.

Romney never said any such thing to him.

Ditto for him and his overweight niece re. at the RNC. They both don’t belong at their positions.

Neither should you, Mitt.

Santos must have refused Mitt’s offer of a Book of Mormon.

Neither of them belong there, but the Romster does far more harm.

What part of …. in a scrum of reporters, Romney was asked about the exchange. Confirming he said “You don’t belong here,” he added: “He shouldn’t be in Congress.” did you completely miss?

Mind your own affairs, Mitt.
You are not the Rooster guarding the henhouse. That was rude, making such remarks in front of the cameras.
Someone could embarrass you the same way for being a RINO.

It’s not about Romney.

Santos is just too shady.

He invents the wildest tales about himself, none of which are true. First his mother died in 9/11 and then she died in 2008 and then Santos was the producer of Spiderman and then he was a real estate mogul when it turned out he lives in a cupboard at his sister’s house and owns nothing and these weird things just keep coming.

They were taking Romney to the woodshed for not saying the same thing to Biden.

Re-read it. ;-)

What part of Biden did you miss?

The “him” in my reply was referring to Biden, the subject of my previous paragraph.

One wonders if Rino Mit has had other such conversations with dRat liars like Biden, Shitt, Omar, Swalwell, and........

Would he say it? If he had, would anyone report it?

Romney is republican and Harry Reid was a Democrat but both of them voted nearly identically on important issues and they held similar views on a lot of issues. My point is they vote Mormon. If their party labels were reversed they would still vote Mormon. If the country fell into major chaos, the Mormons believe they will rise to lead the way. They are just more quiet and sneaky about their goals.

Congress is a gathering of liars, thieves and bloviating blowhards... That’s Santos MO... He belongs there.
