The senator said he has “a hard time understanding” why Trump’s legal issues don’t “seem to be moving the needle” with more voters.
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) called out the majority of Iowa Republican caucus voters who baselessly believe that President Joe Biden did not win the 2020 election legitimately.
“I think a lot of people in this country are out of touch with reality and will accept anything Donald Trump tells them,” Romney, who announced in September that he is not seeking reelection, told CNN journalist Manu Raju on Wednesday.
About 65% of Iowa caucusgoers said they believe former President Donald Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was “stolen” from him, according to entrance poll data.
and why would they do that in response to my comment that nothing to do with an specific person or even side?
They made it pretty clear:
And I agree with them: your post was ridiculous “muh both sides” nonsense. We can shit on politicians for being out of touch, and we can make a case probably for any of them. But almost universally they pale in comparison to Trump. It’s like if one person committed fraud by lying to someone and robbed them of millions of dollars, and another told a white lie to their kid to get them go to bed on time. You’re basically saying “well, these people are the same because they both are liars!” It’s just simply not accurate, and it’s what they were pointing out.
There is no “both sides” when it comes to Trump. The guy has proven himself to be ridiculously dangerous, not just your run-of-the-mill out of touch politician.
you people made my post about trump. im not defending him. i’m saying they are all bad. not sides. not one or the other. all. i never even mentioned him.
The post is about trump. You jumped in to defend trump by implicitly claiming all politicians are out of touch. The other poster accurately pointed out that they are not even remotely equivalent. And yes you did mention him, explicitly.
To get all bent out of shape that people are talking about trump makes no sense.
