I have to give props to Mitt Romney

He's disgusted by George Santos' lack of shame and decency.

Romney took it directly to Santos, face to face, and let him know how he felt.

No behind the back, no weasel words, just straight truth.

Thanks Mitt.



and how did the cowardly poseur respond? with a tweet, of course:

spoke to the press after.

The fact that Santos was allowed into the room is, as Romney said, a complete embarrassment to all of us.

that he's still Willard Rmoney. Right about something every 3-4 years , despicable enemy of workers the rest of the time.

And in this case it isn't just that he was right to do that, it's fucking disgraceful that he was the only one of them that did.

Because his reply summarizes the republicans platform/philosophy at this point in history. It’s pretty much “neener, neener, neener,” and nothing else.

As Josh Hawley was speaking, Mittens was seated directly behind him. You could clearly see how badly Romeny wanted to slap the sh** out of him.
Beginning the long walk towards hopeful redemption.

honest enough, classy enough, and man enough to say the damn truth about George Santos, or whatever his real name is.

We disagree on policy, but he's a fundamentally good person.

… when he talked about his “binders full of women” that he would be head and shoulders more decent than literally everyone in his party?

even back then. He still would have been a bad president though, he cares too much about the rich.

He's shown more fortitude throughout the Trump years than anyone in the GOP outside Liz Cheney. But yes always a shill for the rich.
