- Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) called the riots at the US Capitol "an insurrection incited by the President of the United States," while addressing his colleagues at a ceremonial counting of electoral votes that will confirm President-elect Biden's win.
#CNN #News
It is OUTRAGEOUS that we now clap to someone saying "TELL THE TRUTH."
@Brian Y, I also would like to know if it was Republicans clapping for him, or the Democrats. I'd like to think at least some of the Republicans were.
Well the senate is filled to the brim with liars so the truth is a foreign concept to them
@Papa Bear None of them? Pretty bad.
That is the SAD state America is in right now.....
crazy how low the bar is
Can only imagine how rage filled McCain would of been if he had been around for this.
bro McCain would’ve flipped
@@babosanders5223 well his state flipped. Does that count
Very true.
Oh he would have called for Trump's head.
He would have sold more missiles to alQaeda...
“It’s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”- Mark Twain
an romney's fooling a bunch of fools right now.
This shit is crazy people can’t see through this shit. It’s like they are taking over the world in front of our eyes and we already loss
Well said
@@harrymacdonald858 honest voting does make a difference.
honest, being the key word.
and the fool, mitt romney is doing his best, to convince people he is an honorable man.
Yet again Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) makes me proud. I didn't vote for Mitt Romney back during the 2012 Presidential Election. I voted for a second Obama term. We don't see eye to eye on many issues but over the last 4 years, during Mitt Romney's time as a Senator from Utah (R-UT). He has truly given me hope and pride that there are still honest politicians in America. That there's still are good, admiral, and trustworthy Republican politicians out there willing to speak the truth. Not being afraid to speak the truth on the floor of the U.S. Senate or on cable news, just because it could possibly lead to being primary in his next re-election bid. If Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) ran for President of the United States again, I would seriously consider casting my vote for him. Mitt Romney has become the "NEW" John McCain of the U.S. Senate.
I didn't vote for Mitt Romney either. But he deserved my vote. As did Obama, who I did vote for.
Don't kid yourself. There were MANY MANY little men with injured pride who made this possible.
Oh, you are SO correct! Thank you for saying so!
Romney is far from a saint but he was one of the few Republicans to vote for indicting Trump during his impeachment. That means something to me.
Good point 👌
@zammerjammer so true, and now we know what to expect from any republican running for office, especially the office of the presidency.
@@christopherrowe7860 same to me.
It’s good to remember he was the only republican senator who voted to impeach trump
Foresight
I don't agree with his politics, but he's a decent guy.
He also marched with BLM. Only Republican I seen
In years to come, Mitt will be remembered fondly👍
@@rsila25 more like us Republicans will piss on him next election. The guy is a class A pos
"The best way we can show respect for the voters who were upset, is by telling them the truth."
What they sold us out years ago
Mitt Romney is right but....would his cult believe them?
It would help if senators and lawmakers would tell the truth to their constituents, but much like Donald Trump, the 13 senators and 100+ Republicans put their own political careers ahead of country and the people they swore to serve.
They don’t give a funk about us too much money and power to care until there house gets invaded
@@MD77SA lol, your talking about telling the truth on a CNN thread. Like half truths slightly modified or one sides truth omitting the others view. I guess it's too late now, half of america stopped believing the "news" being forced on them.
@@m.b.7801 yeah, we should all go to fox "news" instead. sure.
Mitt Romney is carrying the torch that John McCain left. Respect.
RESPECT. Yes
And McCain would be proud of him
I'm from Arizona and McCain was a friggin sellout.
@@garytrawinski1843 Sellout because he had integrity?
How about the USS FORRESTAL incident ?
It doesn't matter if he's a Republican and you disagree with that party; he's a man who deserves a respect for his integrity.
Of course it doesn‘t matter what his beliefs are. Even having to make that clear shows that there is something very wrong with this election :(
Auranit Agree 100%
As a Democrat, I do admire this man for being more sensible than most of his neo-nazi /fascist trumpist party.
Still a liar who was berating the poor in secret.
@@CB-im3oh, are you referring to the people who think this election was rigged and how wrong that is and how wrong they are?
I’m glad many Republicans are finally addressing this madness, but Sen. Romney has been true to his beliefs the whole time. Even when he stood alone. Respect.
@PETER SAINT PIERRE
He has denounced trump for his entire term. What more was he supposed to do by himself?
mitt is a rino...
Don't feed the troll.
@PETER SAINT PIERRE no the government did not fail. It is the people who failed because they were susceptible to demagoguery and lies. They painted the media as the liars while letting the biggest liar take office. They voted for the very representatives that acquitted Trump in 2020. The government and Constitution can’t do anything when the people themselves have been corrupted. Good thing that America has somewhat redeemed itself this year. People can learn so there’s still hope.
Yes, he has been.

Ex-Republican here. Mitt Romney is a principled, decent,, and honorable man.
Your blind. Sad
I'm not a Republican, but I can appreciate a voice of integrity when I hear it, and a person of Character when I see it. And while I have a different political view, for what it's worst....Mitt Romney has my respect
Willard, the bootlicker is a RINO.
Respect Mitt... one of the great Republicans left standing !
Nar he's a judas an many more like him in the Republican crucifying trump, like what judas did to christ, all for there gain,
I have never witnessed a great speech first hand in my lifetime. Until now. It wasn’t a speech of platitudes, but a speech of conviction and truth, coming from a man who has held firm against Trump’s insanity for years now. He lost the presidency, but seeing this I would have, retrospectively, been proud to have him as leader of this country.
The Republican Party is over.
@@dr.g3860 we can hope
@@johnrepi9287 Triggered by the truth about your beloved Svengali troll?
Wow, “a selfish man’s wounded pride”. That says it right there.
@Chasbo Daniels Trump is no man. He takes no responsibility. He's the stereotype of the bully: a very weak person that has to talk tough to mask his passive/aggressive insecurity. If you were to confront him personally, he would curl up in a ball screaming "I'll sue; I'll sue; I'll sue..."
we didn’t know before voting the guy in that he was selfish? we did but some people are to wrapped up in their own beliefs to be bothered to “hear” what someone says. they listen hug they don’t hear the words.
Redra - yes, the best way to deal with a bully is to laugh at him.
Thats been blatently obvious for weeks.
Debs husband asks if the chaos of the last four years was due to a selfish woman and her sycophants?
In McCain’s absence, this is the only drop of sense that remains in the Republican party...
I know right!? I was thinking the same thing
Y’all smeared him in 2012.
Rand Paul does as well for those who can hear.
RIP McCain. Also Rand Paul is a fool...
@@blakemiller9661 citizens don't run smear campaigns. Go complain to the politicians and super pacs that paid for the smear campaign, and stop trying to pick fights with your sock puppet account.
I never knew he was in his 70s, Thought it was late 50’s at most
I think you mean "at most."
Just sad he isn't in one of his future lifetimes.
He was until this mess.
I'm a Democrat, and I don't always agree with him, but Senator Mitt Romney has earned my respect. Bravo sir, bravo.
He's a spineless politician just like you. Most of these protestors are peaceful who just want elections to be held to the rule of law. You cannot expel officials who by law have to monitor the votes since that is a federal crime. period. Btw, Romney is not helping by trying to smear Trump with exaggerated claims.
Politically I agree with just about nothing he stands for, but he’s a decent man and stands up for what is true.
@@maxkonig559 trump has had over 60 attempts in court to prove just some form of fraud or some insecurity in the election, he has lost every time. There is no evidence he is lying to you, he’s had months to prove this and provided nothing, no more wasting time with these stupid routines when your country needs to move on and deal with much more important issues than Trump’s ego
What is unbelievable is conservatives chose this guy as their candidate for presidency in 2012 and chose Trump in 2016. WTF? All gone mental or something?
Actually my guess is Trumpers were always there breathing & waiting, waiting and waiting for their fascist leader, wait no, fascist dictator to appear. AND finally they met. Match made in HELL, we are witnessing.
@@maxkonig559 Yes pipe bombs and putting up a noose, is all very peaceful apparently. Funny thing is, I see people like you defending the terrorists, and then your fellow comrades also try to say the terrorists were antifa members paid to dress up as Trumptards to break into the capitol.
Someone let this poor man get some sleep. He’s been carrying the whole Republican Party on his back for a hot second
Emma, did you see Graham blow in the wind like the empty old sock he is and has been? Did you listen to Hawley and Cruz, two little boys with no knowledge of the Constitution? Did you see McConnell grow a set? Romney has been a at least a dim light of hope and truth in the Republican Party. At least Romney didn’t change colors like a lizard, like McConnell and Graham. I haven’t even mentioned the rest of the weak reptiles in the Republican Party who haven’t ever stood up to Chump, who must be removed.
Exactly
@@peterraleigh9406 how fun that the left is no for neo cons and Pro war. You are giving support to a War hawk.
Amen!!!
Amen. The only shining light of truth. “No congressional audit is going to convince these voters.....”
From all the Romney speeches I've never heard that tone of voice. He's exhausted and angry.
even his hair is mussed.
Yeah he’s unraveling and pissed
Most importantly, he is Dissapointed
Still wtf took everyone so long???
This could have been handled yrs ago. But here we are. This isn't a better late than never moment. This is a we don't have real leaders running our country. It's weird.

So witnessing a man get his head blown off was leagues below what happened today? Ok.
@@Mega554321 I mean yes, I’m sure that that was horrifying on a different level, but think about it: that was ONE PERSON who blew Kennedy’s head off, not thousands and thousands of people who showed up to push past police barricades, break the windows of the car and climb in like they own it!

I'm not gonna start explaining what's wrong with your assertion.

Yeah, Biden is not the first pick for president, but sure you people don't know why.
@@mytahiti1004 The Mueller report alone was enough to remove Trump from office. Were it not for the OLC memo, the president would have been charged with multiple accounts of obstruction of justice, and the DOJ produced multiple credible indictments of individuals in Trump's orbit based on these findings. Additionally, the original impeachment trial found sweeping corruption amid Trump and Ukraine, of which the house voted on but the partisan senate sought to retain executive influence.
@@mytahiti1004 Joe Biden claims to have got Viktor Shokin fired. Shokin was considered corrupt by most of western Europe. Also, Shokin was NOT pursuing investigations into corruption at Burisma, the company employing Hunter Biden. Even though pressure was brought to bear on the Ukraine government, Shokin's inaction with regard to corruption investigations was the reason for his dismissal. Exactly what law do you think Joe Biden broke?

Bingo. This was all started because one man couldn't deal with his defeat. He started a seditious movement based on a lie. Several people just lost their lives over it.
Everything Romney said is what he is. He finally speaking how his vengeance makes him has so much hatred toward president trump and will say or do anything at any costs just to get back at trump. Lots of sins. Man of God? Wait until one reached the gate of heaven and God will go over men’s sins with each person.
and the one man was romney ... ran for president twice ... failed both times.
jealous of trump.
This all started because Biden cheated. Democrats rather climb and tree and tell a lie, than to stand on the ground and tell the truth. Trump could deal with losing to Biden, if it was an honest election, but it wasn't. If Biden didn't do this.. czcams.com/video/MA8a2g6tTp/video.html , and tried using dead people votes. Illegal votes with fake addresses. Trump knowing his votes were separated from Biden votes, and was postmark a different date, and some votes were found in the trashcan. Trump would've step down gracefully. This is why the Dems used the virus, so that they would have a good reason to use mail-in ballots. Things happen for a reason, and there was a reason why we saw all those illegals pouring into our country illegally on tv, when Trump was in office. I think the Dems should found the police, there are a lot of very upset people out there. Also, they should put better windows and doors in the Capital. Bars on the windows.. something. If I were the Dems and knew that I did everything to cheat in this election. I would secure the WH better too. I am not for any type of violence, but we have a lot of very upset people out there.
