It’s hard to fathom the level of absolute depravity that Sen. Mitt Romney has descended to, but I will give it a try.
Today, the failed presidential candidate tweeted out a condemnation of President Trump for commuting Roger Stone’s sentence.
“Unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president,” Romney wrote.
Obviously, Romney doesn’t know the meaning of three words — “unprecedented.” “historic,” and “corruption.” He was wrong on all three counts, but most importantly this wasn’t an act of corruption; it was an act of courage.
President Trump knew that Stone was the victim of an attempted coup by Jim Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper and the Deep State, and he wasn’t going to let him be collateral damage just because asshats like Romney would spray bile on Twitter. It doesn’t matter that it might not help him win an election; it was the right thing to do. Loyalty matters.
Meanwhile, there was never any doubt what kind of person Romney was, but one particular trait he has never exhibited is loyalty or devotion. You would not want this guy in a foxhole with you. He showed that when he joined the Never Trump movement at the last minute in 2016 to try to stop Trump from winning the GOP nomination. This despite the fact that he had sought Trump’s endorsement for his own doomed run for President in 2012.
Trump put bygones behind him in 2018 when he endorsed Romney’s bid for Senate as a Mormon carpetbagger in Utah, but Romney stuck a knife in Trump’s back by voting to impeach him earlier this year (the only Republican stupid enough to do so). I wrote about that in February as “Romney sounds the death rattle of the old GOP.” And followed up with “Who brainwashed Mitt Romney? (Like father, like son!).”
Now we have to put up with another round of treasonous hypocritical Democrats praising Romney as the conscience of the Republican Party when eight years ago they were savaging him as the self-serving phony it turns out he really is!
Ugh! Sometimes I think if there were no divine justice, there would be no justice at all.

Thank you, Mr. Miele, for your comments on Mitt Romney. Romney’s continued disloyalty toward the President caused me such disappointment. But not really. Mitt Romney has proven again and again what a narcissist he is. Critics say that of President Trump, but he is a realist doing the work of ten people. Romney is a narcissist who, as one of the articles on your site notes, is waiting for his closeup. He is a disloyal, ungrateful, and untalented showboat. Thanks for highlighting his antics. What a guy he is! Trust him? Never.

One more thing: when people like Pelosi, Schiff, and Romney speak in self-righteous terms, beware. The self-righteous pontificating by Pelosi, Schiff, and Romney is very telling. They look in their mirrors and have convinced themselves that they are so good, that nobody can measure up to their goodness. They are shallow, small people. If only republicans could be as critical, unethical, and underhanded as these Democrats, Romney included in the Democrat category. Then republicans could delve into the private lives of Pelosi, Schiff, and nobody really cares about Romney. But what a pleasure it would be if Pelosi and Schiff were followed around and their friends were investigated and brought on for questioning. Doesn’t matter why. Democrats didn’t need a reason they made up many. We need some investigating into Pelosi and how rich her husband got from insider information. As soon as things get heated for her, she yells at her news conferences and nobody dares to challenge her or she will have them thrown out. A Vicious, vindictive, and vengeful woman. Sandy Cortez thinks she can take her place? Pelosi has more viciousness in her than 10 Sandy Cortez’s.
