Romney: Bigots and those fighting hate are 'not the same'
The Hill, Aug 15, 2017, Jacqueline Thomsen

Mitt Romney fired back at President Trump for saying “both sides” were responsible for violence at a white supremacist rally over the weekend, claiming that the two clashing groups were more “morally different universes.”

“No, not the same. One side is racist, bigoted, Nazi. The other opposes racism and bigotry. Morally different universes,” Romney tweeted Tuesday.

Romney was responding to Trump’s comments Tuesday that “both sides” were to blame for the violence at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Va., on Saturday.

Mitt Romney Defends Peaceful Antifa Terrorists – Gets Schooled by Twitter
Gateway Pundit, Aug 16, 2017

Mitt Romney joined the fray on Tuesday defending the violent club-wielding Antifa terrorists from Charlottesville.

An ignorant Mitt Romney defended the Antifa terrorists for rejecting “racism and bigotry.”

This did not go unnoticed.

Romney got schooled on Twitter for defending the violent domestic terrorist group.

Romney seems out of touch with the situation.  I like the guy, but he's wrong on this along with the RINO cockroaches crawling out of the woodwork.

Dammit, I did.  I wasn't sold on him, but,as with Trump, we HAD TO consider the alternative.

We are still reaping the crap that Obama sowed and Romney was such a wimp, he gave Obama four more years to do it.

Romney is playing to the media and trying to stay relevant while proving that he is totally irrelevant.

This is who and what Romney is defending:



That is, of course, to use Romney's words, racist, bigoted and Nazi.   

There is a difference between the legitimate left and the alt-left, just as there is between the legitimate right and the alt-right.   The alt-varieties are birds of a feather - fascists with a thirst for intolerance.   As I've said elsewhere, find a stadium somewhere,  with four walls, and let 'em have at each other.   Then rinse the stadium clean.

Oh REALLY?  Then why is the "legitimate" left supporting, endorsing and defending the alt-left?

I don't believe it is.  Of course it isn't.  However, this statement by Romney was made strictly to attack Trump and to make Trump seem racist.

Anyone who watched the Trump speech knows that he was fair in decrying violence by both sides.

People don't get fighting mad in a vacuum.  There had been too much leftist violence for too long and much of not condemned by the press or our leaders.

How is it in touch to support and defend Antifa and BLM ... groups that are not targeting racism, but the United States of America as founded?

How is in touch to support and defend the brutal beatings, destruction of property and the torching of automobiles by Antifa and BLM?

How does one justify Romney giving moral authority to these to groups?

This seems a bit coordinated, the way a few of these politicians have come out and from what they say, it's not like they are addressing the real situation but an interpretation of it, such as the way CNN reports on it.

According to Mike Gallagher, the Antifas were being called "anti-hate" yesterday on CNN.

Some of these folks seem put up to say this.

Romney is doing his best to justify all the race-baiters out there.  He is a pathetic piece of human debris.

I know we had a miserable President in Obama, but I thank God each day we did not have either McCain or Romney.  W caused the conservative movement to be set so far back, we are still trying to recover as some idiots claim Romney is a conservative.

Good grief.

Exactly. The media is portraying the Antifas as the second-coming of "The White Rose."

See, right there is a big difference between us.  McCain and Romney were not good candidates... at least not perfect ones.  McCain hadn't gone quite looney tunes when he ran and Romney was a middle of the roader.

But, but, but ... conservatives who refused to vote for either and now seemed to be proud of that purity, gave us 8 years of a disastrous regime which may take us many years to overcome.

He's right.

One side thinks and says terrible things.

The other side does terrible things.

The car attack being the exception. But we'll just put that on the scale against Micah Johnson and then look at the rest.
