Mitt Romney criticizes Fox News and right-wing media for warping Republican Party

[HomerJS]

Applaud Mitt for speaking the truth but should have had the stones to do it much sooner. Same can be said about the dead Rush Limbaugh. This isn't some revelation, a great deal of us have been saying it for >10 years

Republican Party are guilty of letting themselves be warped. They are more than willing to let the crazies have the loudest voice so long as they can maintain power.

Fuck him. They ALL bought in for the benefit of an Australian billionaire and his Chinese mistress. This GOP has gotten really good at selling out America.

The bravery of republican politicians speaking out when they retire from Public service....
Where it has zero impact

 

[Stokely]

Yep, very very few of them have the stones to do while it matters. They know the GOP rubes will kick them out of their job for being a "traitor". They mostly all support the same crap, they just are old-school when it comes to dog-whistling and being "polite" with your racism and what-not, not just out in the open like Trump and co.

 

[trenchfoot]

The Republican party is crippled from the lack of accomplishments in the area of passing popular legislation that benefits the working class folks of America of whom represent the vast majority of the nation's voters.

Instead, the party is running on an agenda of cutting taxes for the rich, shutting down the southern border, racist policies, religious fundamentalism and butchering every essential social service they can get their corporate inspired self-serving claws on.

Romney is an intrinsic component of those policies. He may be against the MAGA cult wing of the party, but that doesn't excuse the fact that the party he is a member of is corrupt beyond redemption. The party represents the interests of a few multi-billionaire families based on the party's legislative record. That is the irrefutable fact and truth of the matter all while their cadre is shoveling emotionally driven bullshit propaganda down the throats of their working class constituency that's got absolutely nothing to do with improving the quality of their lives.

Sucks to be them relying on a pack of lies to win elections. Romney is right in there supporting the party's disingenuous agenda that favors the very wealthy at the expense of the middle class and the poor.

 

[dullard]

Romney called the GOP a "propaganda factory detached from reality". I'm curious, did he come up with that phrase himself? Or did he read about it in one of his binders full of women?

Speaking out on your death bed far away from your voters is not heroic.

Romney is a fucking coward.

Romney is dying? Did not know this.

In the political sense, he’s a dead man walking.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

Romney just hates how nakedly white nationalist the culture war is now under Trump because it makes it hard to elect Republicans to lower his taxes. He was fine with Reagan's culture war and Bush's culture war when it was about appealing to closeted nazis in the white evangelical churches as opposed to the plain sight nazis Trump courts.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

Romney is a fucking coward.

He's a sociopath who won't get his tax cuts when Trump plays fat Hitler and makes his party cancer to Millennial and Gen Z voters.

Stop giving these shitstains a pat on the back. Romney (and McCain) are why the Republican party went insane. They were always pushing them this direction. Fuck them because they basically got upset that after all their manipulations they never got crowned king (which is why those 2 fucking assholes were doing it, it was so they could become President) and so it was all for naught, which is really why their asses are so chapped after the fact. Their legacies are every bit as tarnished as any of these others, arguably they should shoulder more of the burden because they're the asswipes that architected the Republican Party to be this way. Morons like the group in the HoR are just being who they are, but they never would've been enabled had it not been for the likes of Romney and McCain who intentionally opened the Party up to this.

i meant it in a metaphorical way. going out of government vs going out of life, and then choosing to speak out.

I knew you did.

I knew you did.

I knew you did I figured the "far away from your voters" bit would be the tip off.

The hard core MAGAs have always been out there. They were just able to hide out under the rocks and bark of rotting trees.

Trump was (and still is) as close to the second coming of a messiah for them as we will hopefully ever see. He called all of the faithful out saying 'it's ok to hate ALL of the people that don't look, act and believe as you do. You're not really a basket of horribles but the *gag* "fruit" of our nation.'

I want to blame them for . . . . just being who they are, but the sad fact is we have NEVER taught "critical thinking" (not to be confused with CRT) as a valuable skill. And if you don't question shit (trust no one) then you'll believe virtually anything.

Hopefully a lawyer wanting a payday and publicity will find the guy they assaulted.

Can sue GA and Fox News, again!

While there has been a core, it has spread much more now. AM Radio was one thing but then FOX News and Facebook spread it much wider. Now you have 30% of the population festering in their filth.
