Mitt Romney: "Morons. I've got morons on my team."

[Towlie]

I don't mean to imply that Mitt Romney is a good guy, but along with a handful of other Republican politicians he does occasionally say things that you wouldn't normally expect to hear from their party:

Two Republican members of Congress participated in a white nationalist’s conference. Mitt Romney called them ‘morons.’

Romney on Sunday called racist views “evil.”

“There’s no place in either political party for this white nationalism or racism. It’s simply wrong,” Romney told Bash. He added: “Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar — I don’t know them, but I’m reminded of that old line from the ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ movie where one character says, ‘Morons. I’ve got morons on my team.’ ”

Here's the quote Romney was referring to but I think this movie quote is much more appropriate.

1. And Whose Problem, Senator, Is That?

You are a man on a team with morons....

[SoonerPride]

2. "Racists. I've got racists on my team."

Fixed it for ya, Mittens.

[nycbos]

6. The two aren't mutually exclusive.

In fact very very much coinside

[SoonerPride]

7. True. All morons are not racists.

But all racists are morons.

3. Maybe Mitt should look for a new team.

It ain't so much the morons, Mitt. It's the team that has failed.

4. Mitt! Morans! Didn't you get the text message? /nt

5. How much money has Romney taken from the Russian mob?

The Putin GOP and media has been bought off by Putin.
Probably Romney has as well?

[Hekate]

12. There's never been a breath of that kind of dirt on Mittens. My Dem sis still appreciates ...

… what he did for Massachusetts in the form of Romneycare.

[Irish_Dem]

13. Good. Maybe that is why he is free to speak out against the PutinGOP.

But I am still skeptical, most of the PutinGOP has taken Russian mob money in one form or the other.

8. Why doesn't he look for a new team, then?

[Javaman]

9. here's the part that is left out...

"I think anybody who would sit down with a white nationalist at their conference is certainly missing a few IQ points"

I will now leave this here...

[Irish_Dem]

14. This is what makes me think he was bought off too. Like the rest of the PutinGOP.

[Towlie]

15. That's a great find, Javaman!

10. That is not your problem Mitt...

I mean... Yes, there are plenty of morons in your party but your more immediate problem is that you have open white supremacists and open nazis... That, Mitt, is what you have on your team.

11. That's what I've been trying to tell you!!!
