Mitt Romney: U.S. Capitol Riot Was ‘an Insurrection Against the Constitution’

Katherine Rodriguez 15 May 2021

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) called the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol an “insurrection against the Constitution,” while other Republicans downplayed the riot’s significance.

Romney’s comments came as several Republicans, including Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), and Rep. Jody Hice Norman (R-GA), minimized the violence or made false claims about the attack.

Clyde said during a House Oversight and Reform Committee hearing Wednesday that calling what took place on January 6 “an insurrection” was “a boldface lie.”

Romney told HuffPost Thursday that the mob attack resulted in several deaths, severe injuries, and severe property damage.

“I was there,” Romney said. “What happened was a violent effort to interfere with and prevent the constitutional order of installing a new president.”

“As such, it was an insurrection against the Constitution that resulted in severe property damage, severe injuries, and death,” he added.

Romney was one of several Republican senators who voted to convict former President Donald Trump on a charge of inciting an insurrection.

Several of the senators who voted to convict Trump have been censured in their home states by local Republican groups. The Weber County GOP in Utah most recently censured Romney.

"...prevent the constitutional order of installing a new president.”
             
That is what happened - Trump sent them there to stop the count of installing the new president.  Plus, Trump during that rally blamed Vice President Pence for not stopping the count, so the mob wanted to find and hang Pence.

Trump is good at one thing: mass hypnosis - just like Captain Ahab (Moby Dick) used mass hypnosis on his ship's crew to keep going after white whale Moby Dick until all but one crew member died.

@christian

Some years ago, I read about the Romney family living in Utah and being Mormons.  They were highly regarded in the church and had leader roles.  Mitt also had a church role.  For these reasons, I think he will keep the votes of Utah to stay US Senator.

Challenging suspicious elections is as American as Apple Pie.  If Trump was trying to "interfere with installing a new President," he would have demanded riots on Inauguration Day, as the Democrats did on 1/20/2017 when they threatened to burn DeeCee to the ground.

You and Romney are deliberately, and dishonestly conflating the two.

I think that's likely, to the eternal shame of LDS.  They, like many others, vote "tribe" instead of issues.  40+ years of living in Arizona has taught me this.  Even the Tribe could not save Jeffy Flakey Boy.

Left unanswered:  Why are you not making this accusation of every Democrat to have lost the Presidential Election this Century?  They all challenged the votes on January 6th.  Why is is suddenly evil?  It was as American as Apple Pie those times.  I'm asking for some consistency here.

Look, I understand you think Trump is a Psychopath, and he instigated a bloody insurrection resulting in dozens (or so) deaths and melted snowflake politicians.  And I humbly concede the attempt to reason you out of something you didn't reason yourself into.

What is your basis for this claim?  Can you please site anything Trump said that would indicate any such act of insurrection?  It has been months since I first asked you this.  And to date, you have failed to cite a single quote.  Yet here you are again, repeating the same unsubstantiated Democrat lie.

Ummm....No, Mittens, it was not.   Unless you're honest enough to accept the fact that it was a staged event organized by your pals the Rodents to distract away from the ballot count that day.

What WAS an insurrection against the Constitution, Mittens, was your refusal to challenge the fraudulent ballots, when it was your sworn duty to do so, both as a US Senator and as a Mormon and US citizen.

But keep talking, as many people as possible need to be annoyed by your stupid Never Trumping antics.

Of course, the fact that there were enough false electors in that count to prevent the honest outcome...Since Trump was the winner of the electio...never entered your mind?

And cite the part of Trump's speech where he said to riot.   Nobody else has been able to show it to us, since it never happened.  Maybe you have something special?

The chain of invented crisis-es goes unabated.  4-5 years of insurrection and more trying to overthrow President Trump, ignored, but now accusing the President Trump on the flimsiest of evidence.  An outrageous election fraud and stolen election with evidence in our face in real time, denied.   Now the clowns try to blame the former President of what democrats did.  An invented insurrection facade, Jan 6th, complete with leftist fanatics pretending to be Conservatives-Trumpers to try and further accuse the former President.  Democrats and Romney pretending to care about the Constitution, while not long ago working with Obama to try and destroy and replace the Constitution.  Romney is the democrats Monica on a leash, as are their blind fanatical lock-steppers marching that march.

That is absolutely hilarious saying that Trump was trying to stop the count as we have all seen who stopped the count on election night to secure an election victory for Biden.

What Really Happened at the Capitol: Questions that Need Answers
May 12, 2021
Quote
On January 5th, a slew of vocal conservatives, including myself, spoke to a sea of Patriots in Washington DC. We were optimistic that our massive presence there would lead to a national audit of the 2020 election, and that answers about all the election irregularities would lead to uncovering the complex and epic fraud to the rest of the masses.

 By the time I had arrived to the Capitol on January 6th, (in case you didn’t know, the Capitol was breached way before anyone listening to Trump speak could have possibly walked there in time) dozens of people were telling me that the police were just letting people in, if I wanted inside.

 I sensed a trap and knew the Left would like nothing more than to crucify me for something like that, and luckily I never did step foot inside. Everyone’s cell phone and data service was cut off for over a 1-2 mile radius, and there was no way to communicate with each other other than in person.

By the end of it all, I ended up getting tear gassed for no discernible reason, while I stood on the grounds peacefully chanting and singing songs next to veterans, older people, people with dogs, and other regular non-threatening folks. ...

To better help you understand, let me lay out a timeline in the order it happened:

• Before the election occurred, radical leftist groups were already actively planning to shut down DC and attack the White House in the case of a Trump win. That’s not a conspiracy theory either. The leaders of several radical leftist groups, media personnel, and federal employees were caught on video as they planned the entire “coup” as they called it, during various Zoom meetings. You can watch the whole traitorous act here: https://www.millennialmillie.com/post/election-2020-coup-plot-exposed

Remember Hillary telling Biden “not to concede under any circumstances” even if there’s a loss? I guess now we know why…

• As footage and eye witness testimony came flooding in after the fact, it turns out people in all-black were seen buying MAGA gear. There’s even a video of 3 of them changing in the bushes earlier that day.  ...
More at DC Patriot (https://thedcpatriot.com/what-really-happened-at-the-capitol-questions-that-need-answers-2/)

As I've noted before, a friend of ours was there, and he saw the organized groups of bused-in leftists marching in quickstep to the Capitol. It is utter idiocy to blame Trump for this. But, of course, we all know Mittens is an idiot.

Mass hypnosis? Good grief.  *****rollingeyes*****
@mountaineer
@Cyber Liberty
 
I used hypnosis with patients who would benefit from it.  Mass hypnosis is also possible.  See link below.

Story:
My husband had cancer and was in hospital for chemo through a vein.  Nurse said he would get sick and throw up, so come get one of them to give him a med when he started throwing up.  I hypnotized him, he was in a sleep state, and he stayed that way through the whole thing - did not get sick.

A nurse did come in to check on him when he should be throwing up.  She could not believe he was calm as if nothing was happening.  I told her I hypnotized him.  She asked if the doctor knew I was going to do that.  I told her yes, I had told him I would do that.  She left and did not come back.  Later, the doc told me the nurses would not come in there again as they thought they might get hypnotized, too.  Here is a link about mass hypnosis:

You're right in one sense. It was not an insurrection. It was basically a bunch of gormless dopes milling around (egged on by their loser president who couldn't admit he lost) thinking something magic would happen when they got to the CB.
Nothing magic happened. But one hundred capitol police were injured in some way because some of the morons were violent. That is not nothing.
Bottom line: the rioters shouldn't have been there in the first place. A few days after the election Trump should have admitted he lost and promised to do better next time.
We know that didn't happen. And now Trump is damaged goods and can't win in 2024.
But he can still degrade the party which he is currently doing by continuing to lie about his loss.

The average German before WWI would never have dreamed of rioting against the Jews.

The average German of the 1930's may have been uncomfortable with the idea, but wasn't necessarily opposed to it, either.

Glenn Beck wrote a (ghost writer?) book called the Overton Window, which apparently is a Public Relations tool measuring how public opinions can be shifted to the desired directio over time.

At one time Americans didn't want to wear seat belts.   Now they're perfectly comfortable with laws mandating their use.

At one time Americans were opposed to socialism.

Actually, Americans are still opposed to socialism, but many more people in the US are traitors.

(2) he tried to get his veep to suborn the constitution
(3) he tried to get a Georgia state official to "find" i.e. cheat votes for him.
and (4) he instigated a riot where five people died many of them believing Trump would be there to back them when they went to the CB to do God knows what.
Why? Get behind a Pubbie pol is who not damaged goods. If Trump couldn't beat a moldy sack of potatoes like Joe Biden last November, he certainly can't win in 2024.

Why? Get behind a Pubbie pol is who not damaged goods. If Trump couldn't beat a moldy sack of potatoes like Joe Biden last November, he certainly can't win in 2024.

Where is the proof that he lied??
Pence should have done his job.
Where is the proof that he instigated a riot? 

You are absolutely entitled to your opinion. Some have been seeing the writing on the wall, long before Trump even ran for President; others still just don't see it. 

Out of curiosity, which GOP politician do you think we should get behind who isn't damaged goods and secondly, without ballot and election integrity, combined with the very likely possibility that amnesty will be granted before 2022, AND the  likelihood that voting laws and the electoral process will be changed, how do you expect them to win??

Did I also mention the probability that the SCOTUS will be strongly stacked liberal?

I believe all 4 of your allegations are false, goatprairie, but agree that Trump should not run in 2024. He is not the best candidate we can come up with.

I can't think of anyone willing to endure the continued Dem mud slinging that Trump went through and I don't think Trump will run again because of his age. He likes the limelight but doesn't need the headache.

You still support Trump when
(1) he's lied about losing for the last six months.
(2) he tried to get his veep to suborn the constitution
(3) he tried to get a Georgia state official to "find" i.e. cheat votes for him.
and (4) he instigated a riot where five people died many of them believing Trump would be there to back them when they went to the CB to do God knows what.

I would still support him because

2) Every one of your above assertions are bullsh*t

We should also allow the possibility he actually cares about the country. How he ends up acting on that impulse is anyone's guess.

If Romney were a pinball machine, the TILT would be flashing in red!!!

We'll see.  With his niece as head of the RNC, it won't matter.  He's going to run in 2024.  We'll see a resurgence of the Bush dynasty and the rest of the RINO's supporting him and his niece will make sure that he gets the nomination.

We have seen Donald Trump trashed before he became President, trashed while he was President, and trashed after he left the oval office.  We have seen many high up government agencies and politicians lie and provide false witness against Trump to desperately vilify him and force him out of government through false witnesses and false evidence.  The feds FBI, CIA, IRS and many state government people have reputations they trashed to try and help aid and abet the destruction of President Trump.  There credibility of engaging in felonies to help deposed a rightfully elected President will be a blackmark in history and for the shameless that engaged in it, government entities as well.  Incidentally, they are still viciously going after Trump, remember after years of going after Trump, they were EMPTY HANDED! They pursue viciously attacking Trump to this very day!  Like some of our NeverTrumpers here.

How easy it is for the democrats pathological liars to accuse Trump of lieing. How the liars lie and then accuse their opponents of lieing, more often than not false accusations.    They are political whores and beasts in human form and their actions make that clear enough.  As to how they rule when they take over, proud, haut y, arrogant, vicious, intolerant after demanding tolerance for themselves.  Evil, wicked beasts without consciences. How they rule speaks volumes, the worst of the worst, kings of old.

He lied about losing the Iowa primary to Cruz in 2016, and he's been lying about losing the 2020 election for the past six months. He can't stop lying. He even lied about the size of his inauguration crowd and the rain. He exaggerates everything. Maybe in his mind he's telling the truth, but he's a liar. Stop believing his lies.

Thats what I thought. The left considers opinions & perspectives different from their own ‘lies’ as well. But that doesn’t make them lies.

When the worst of the democrats let manure spill out of their mouths, Romney eats it up and regurgitates it to the public at large.  That's why he so often pushes their talking points.

A liberal NeverTrumper wallowing in and delving in lies, preaches at others not to lie!  Really?  They own patented exclusive rights to lie now ???

Trump didn't lie about losing the election.

What the term "election was stolen" means is that the winner wasn't allowed to take the office the people elected him to.

Which is what happened to President Trump.

Who's telling the bigger lie, Trump when he claims there were 200,000 people at his inauguration, or Biden when he said there were 200?

Gracious in defeat, Trump concedes Iowa


BEN SCHRECKINGER 02/01/2016 11:03 PM EST


WEST DES MOINES, IOWA — All of a sudden, Donald Trump doesn’t mind losing.

A gracious Trump gave brief concession remarks on Monday night, congratulating Ted Cruz and expressing gratitude to his team and the people of Iowa.

Trump said he had been told at the outset of his campaign that he could not finish in the top 10 in Iowa and that he was satisfied with his second place finish.

“We’re just so happy with the way everything worked out,” he said.

“I’m just honored,” he said. “I’m really honored and I want to congratulate Ted and I want to congratulate all of the incredible candidates, including Mike Huckabee who’s become a really good friend of mine.”  .  .  .

The democrats lied and accused Trump of Insurrection, after democrats tried insurrection coupe for over four years, and falsified the election to steal the election which they seem firmly to believe they can lie their way out of.  Yet the insurrectionist and Constitution revilers, the democrat party and Obama have treaded down that path and yet now feign incensed that Trump could have dared to agree with them over insurrection and the constitution.  Democrats need serious therapy from an outstanding psycho-therapist, and it looks like their only hope is if only the very best try and cure their obscene form of insanity.  NeverTrumpers dearly love Biden, yet many are too bashful to admit it, but they do indeed carry the water for the worst fanatics of the democrat party.  So much lies and deceit, yet people come to democrats for truth, who's worse their pathological liars, or those knowing they are liars, still go to them for truth ?
