/0 Comments/in , , /by

Carrie Elizabeth Romney, the sister-in-law of former Republican Utah Sen. Mitt Romney, was found dead Friday in a Los Angeles-area parking garage, authorities said. She was 64.

Deputies with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call around 8:30 p.m. on Town Center Drive in Valencia, California, a department representative told People. Investigators determined that Romney had either jumped or fallen from a parking garage structure near a Hyatt Regency hotel.

People reported that the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office listed Romney’s place of death as “street” and her cause of death as “deferred,” pending further investigation. Her body was marked “ready for release,” according to the outlet.

“Our family is heartbroken by the loss of Carrie, who brought warmth and love to all our lives,” a representative for Mitt Romney told People. “We ask for privacy during this difficult time.” (Read more from “Mitt Romney Speaks Out After Sister-In-Law Carrie Romney Found Dead” HERE)

The White House Sure Is Appreciative of Mitt Romney

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) is only in office for about another year, and it sure looks like he’s using his time to frustrate fellow Republicans while helping out President Joe Biden and the Democrats. On Sunday, the senator appeared on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” during which he was asked about evidence for an impeachment inquiry against the president.

How he responded was worthy of getting the White House’s attention. The Biden-Harris HQ X account also shared a clip of the segment. “As you know, House Republicans have signaled that they may vote as early as this week on an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, despite the fact that they haven’t shown, yet, a direct link between Hunter Biden’s business dealings and President Biden,” host Kristen Welker claimed. “Have you seen any evidence that President Biden has committed high crimes and misdemeanors,” she went on to ask.

Although he stammered a bit with his response, Romney claimed he had not. “No. I–I–I don’t see any evidence of that at all. I think before you begin an impeachment inquiry, you ought to have some evidence, some inclination that there’s been wrongdoing. And so far, there’s nothing of that nature that’s been provided,” he shared.

As The Hill reported, a White House spokesperson sent out an email including a partial transcript and a clip of the segment, touting Romney’s opposition to impeachment. (Read more from “The White House Sure Is Appreciative of Mitt Romney” HERE)

Mitt Romney Says He Would Vote for Democrat Over Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Mitt Romney said he would vote for a Democrat over former President Trump or businessman Vivek Ramaswamy in a potential 2024 general election matchup.

“I’d be happy to support virtually any one of the Republicans, maybe not Vivek, but the others that are running would be acceptable to me and I’d be happy to vote for them,” Romney said to CBS news host Norah O’Donnell in a clip which resurfaced online Saturday.

“I’d be happy to vote for a number of the Democrats too. I mean, it would be an upgrade from, in my opinion, from Donald Trump and perhaps also from Joe Biden,” Romney added, without specifying which Democrats he had in mind.

The remarks were originally aired a month ago as part of a lengthy discussion between Romney and O’Donnell on a new book about the senator. (Read more from “Mitt Romney Says He Would Vote for Democrat Over Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy” HERE)

Trump on Romney: ‘Mitt’s a Loser,’ ‘The Right Candidate Will Beat Him’ in Utah Primary

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Donald Trump, the leading 2024 GOP presidential candidate, told Breitbart News that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is a “loser.”

Trump made the comments about Romney, who carpet-bagged his way into a U.S. Senate seat from Utah after he lost the 2012 presidential election after his governorship in the northeastern Bay State, Massachusetts, during a nearly hour-long exclusive on-camera interview last week at his golf club here.

“Mitt’s a loser. He’s been a loser for a long time,” Trump said when asked to respond to Romney’s recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal in which the failed presidential candidate called for the crowded GOP field in 2024 to winnow itself down to try to stop Trump from getting the nomination again.

Trump also bashed Romney for marching with Black Lives Matter protesters in Washington, DC, in 2020, mocking Romney for wearing a mask during it and saying some of the leftists with whom he was marching were really bad folks.

“He has no respect in the Republican Party,” Trump continued about Romney. “He’s a terrible Republican. I think he’s terrible for the nation also. I saw him marching with the Antifa and the groups down in Washington with his mask on—you couldn’t even see his face. They were marching, and these were real terrorists—very bad people he was marching with. He didn’t even know the difference.” (Read more from “Trump on Romney: ‘Mitt’s a Loser,’ ‘The Right Candidate Will Beat Him’ in Utah Primary” HERE)

Disgraced GOP Senator Says He ‘Would Support’ Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Commission

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Sen. Mitt Romney says he “would support” the House-passed bill establishing a commission to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, making him the first Senate Republican to come out in favor of the proposal, after House Republicans opposed it.

Speaking to reporters at the Capitol on Monday evening, Romney (R-Utah) made the revelation after being asked how he would vote if Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) brought the legislation to the floor for debate.

“I would support the bill,” he responded.

The Senate is split 50-50 between Republicans and Democrats, though Vice President Kamala Harris, as Senate president, has a tie-breaking vote. Still, 51 votes are not enough under current rules to break through the filibuster. (Read more from “Disgraced GOP Senator Says He ‘Would Support’ Jan. 6 Capitol Riot Commission” HERE)

Utah GOP Boos Mitt Romney at State Convention: ‘Traitor!’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A crowd of over 2,000 GOP delegates booed “traitor” Mitt Romney Saturday as the Utah senator addressed his party’s 2021 state convention, where a censure over his two impeachment votes narrowly failed to pass.

“Aren’t you embarrassed?” Romney said as he was greeted with a chorus of catcalls when he took the stage at the Maverik Center in West Valley City, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.

“I’m a man who says what he means, and you know I was not a fan of our last president’s character issues,” said Romney, who was loudly reminded that he was the only Republican senator to vote to convict former President Donald Trump in his first impeachment, and one of seven to vote to convict in the second impeachment following the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.

Delegates tried to shout Romney down, calling him a “traitor” and “communist.” (Read more from “Utah GOP Boos Mitt Romney at State Convention: ‘Traitor!'” HERE)

Mitt Romney Claims ‘Truth and Justice’ Require Senate to Hold Impeachment Trial Against Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican Sen. Mitt Romney (Utah) claimed Sunday that the Senate will conduct a second impeachment trial against now-former President Donald Trump in order to uphold “truth and justice.”

Speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” Romney told show host Chris Wallace that an impeachment trial is necessary to hold Trump accountable for the deadly violence at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, as well as his controversial call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

In fact, Romney said “truth and justice” demand another trial.

“Well, we’re certainly going to have a trial. I wish that weren’t necessary, but the president’s conduct with regards to the call to Secretary of State Raffensperger in Georgia as well as the incitation towards the insurrection that led to the attack on the Capitol call for a trial,” Romney said.

“And, you know, if we’re going to have unity in our country, I think it’s important to recognize the need for accountability, for truth and justice,” the Utah senator added. (Read more from “Mitt Romney Claims ‘Truth and Justice’ Require Senate to Hold Impeachment Trial Against Trump” HERE)

Romney Praises Biden, Who Called Trump a ‘Clown’ and a ‘Racist,’ for Staying Above Vile Discourse

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican Utah Sen. Mitt Romney is apparently the forgiving type. Maybe a little too forgiving.

Romney released a statement on Tuesday decrying the current state of political discourse in the United States. His statement is careful to name both President Trump and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as being guiltiest of some of the worst, most over-the-top rhetoric.

But more interesting than those who Romney says are guilty of lowering the discourse is that the senator conspicuously portrays Democratic nominee Joe Biden as being supposedly above the fray. The problem here is that Biden really is not above getting in the mud. You would think that Romney, of all people, whom Biden claimed in 2012 would put black people “back in chains,” would know this.

“I have stayed quiet with the approach of the election,” reads the senator’s statement. “But I’m troubled by our politics, as it has moved away from spirited debate to a vile, vituperative, hate-filled morass that is unbecoming of any free nation — let alone the birthplace of modern democracy.” . . .

Let’s not forget that it was Biden who built his career in the Senate on being a ruthless knife fighter and who had several outbursts during that travesty of a first presidential debate. Let’s not forget that while on a national stage, it was Biden who called his perfectly belligerent opponent a “racist,” a “liar,” a “clown,” and the “worst president America has ever had.” Biden even told the president to “shut up” and to “keep yapping.” (Read more from “Romney Praises Biden, Who Called Trump a ‘Clown’ and a ‘Racist,’ for Staying Above Vile Discourse” HERE)

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, joined demonstrators Sunday marching to the White House in protest of George Floyd’s death in the custody of Minneapolis police. . .

Asked why it was important for him to be present at the protest, Romney, who was wearing a face covering, said: “We need a voice against racism. We need many voices against racism and against brutality.”

“We need to stand up and say black lives matter,” added Romney, who was marching with a Christian group. . .

Romney had repeatedly tweeted about Floyd’s death in recent days, and he shared a photo of his father, former Michigan Gov. George Romney, marching in a civil rights demonstration in the late 1960s.
