Romney marches with George Floyd protesters in DC
By John Bowden - 06/07/20 06:12 PM EDT

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) joined protesters marching in Washington, D.C., in response to the death of George Floyd on Sunday, as demonstrations continue to sweep the country amid calls for police reform.

Videos and photos of the event showed Romney walking in the street while wearing a mask to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, which health officials have warned could spike as a result of the massive demonstrations around the country. In an interview with NBC, Romney explained that "many voices" needed to join together and stand against racism in the U.S.

"We need a voice against racism, we need many voices against racism and against brutality. And we need to stand up and say 'Black Lives Matter,'" he told an NBC reporter.

I resent being made to feel like a racist for wishing our public dialogue were based upon facts instead of emotional bullsh*t and lies.

And Romney is just a piece of excrement. I don’t know what he thinks he’s going to gain by adapting the left’s rhetoric.

Oh .... first thing that pops into my mind is he wants the VP slot.  What other reason?  Romney the rich white man doesn't stand a chance if he doesn't play along. He's a fool if he really thinks people are going to see him as some kind of white superhero now.

then he’s more stupid than I think he is. Today’s rat party would just as soon start telling the truth than get behind a republican who looks like he stepped out of a 50s sitcom.

Probably the first time in his life Romney actually was with a black person.

   Like McCain, if he were still alive, Romney will forever be a pain in Trump's azz.
