Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah exploded at Sen. Josh Hawley over the January 6 Capitol insurrection, The Washington Post reported. He's said to have told Hawley, "You have caused this!"

The Post, citing sources familiar with the exchange, reported on the Romney-Hawley confrontation in a lengthy profile of the Missouri senator published on Monday.

The Post said that as senators were rushed out of the Capitol and into a secure location, "Hawley remained combative in pushing the very falsehoods that had helped stoke the violence," prompting Romney's rebuke.

The normally mild-mannered and affable Romney also shouted "this is what you've gotten!" at his Republican colleagues during the chaos of the siege on the Capitol, The New York Times reported.

1. The basic Republican chasm: Sane vs. Insane

The Sanes understand how government works and they also understand what a threat the Insane Republicans are to our American future.

6. You can count the number of "sanes"...

on one, maybe two, hands. The number seems to dwindle with each passing day. The republican party, for all intents and purposes, is down the road, bat-shit crazy, full tilt bozo.

3. I shudder to think what would have happened if they caught any of them.

5. That's some pretty sick shit right there.

As much as I dislike Pence, I have no desire to see him executed in the halls of Congress.

4. Tough choice: a dismissive Romney or a fascist twerp Hawley who looks like a cartoon of himself.

It's come to the point that I don't believe Mitt hates us, it's just he doesn't really care about us - Hawley is a gob of privilege.
