Romney: Trump claim of stolen election 'recklessly inflames destructive and dangerous passions'
BY JORDAIN CARNEY - 11/06/20 12:59 PM EST 40

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Friday pushed back against President Trump's baseless claim that the election is being stolen, warning that his rhetoric is only inflaming partisan tensions.

Romney, in a statement posted to Twitter, said the president was "right" to "exhaust legal remedies," including asking for recounts and that alleged voting irregularities be investigated, but "wrong to say that the election was rigged, corrupt and stolen."

"Doing so damages the cause of freedom here and around the world, weakens the institutions that lie at the foundation of the Republic and recklessly inflames destructive and dangerous passions," Romney added.

Among members of the Senate GOP caucus, Romney has been one of the most willing to directly call out the president. His statement on Friday is an escalation from his comments on Thursday when he did not directly name the president but encouraged Americans to have faith in the democratic process.
