‘Troubling in the extreme’: Romney breaks ranks with GOP over Trump and Ukraine
Washington Examiner, Sep 22, 2019

Republican Utah Sen. Mitt Romney said that if President Trump asked Ukrainian officials to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, it would be "troubling in the extreme."

After reports of a complaint filed by an intelligence community whistleblower, details have surfaced of a conversation in which Trump allegedly urged Ukrainian officials to dig into both Biden and his son, Hunter, for his business dealings there.

"If the President asked or pressured Ukraine’s president to investigate his political rival, either directly or through his personal attorney, it would be troubling in the extreme," Romney tweeted Sunday afternoon. "Critical for the facts to come out."

Mitt Romney is the poster boy for the acronym RINO!

You're being far too nice.   I'd say he's the poster boy for Asswipes of the World, Unite.

  • I don't believe in Trump anymore, he's an illusion
Doesn't one actually have to have been in the ranks to be able to break with the ranks? :pondering:
