Romney Hits Trump for Continuing the Election Big Lie: Where Did He Hear It From? The MyPillow Guy? Rudy Giuliani?By Josh FeldmanJun 27th, 2021, 9:56 am
Senator Mitt Romney (R- UT) slammed former President Donald Trump on CNN Sunday for his continued false claims about the 2020 election.
Trump held a rally in Ohio Saturday, where he continued pushing the big lie. Jake Tapper brought up the rally and a new interview where Bill Barr opened up about Trumps bullshit.
Tapper asked Romney, Do these repeated lies about the election, the whitewashing of what happened January 6th, do you think it undermines American democracy? And if so, do you think more of your Republican colleagues need to speak out?
Romney said it is, and argued one of the problems is that autocratic nations can point to these claims and affect the cause of democracy and freedom around the world.

...a "NO" on the voting bill?
He can save his faux bravery for Trump. By going against Trump, he's only proving that he has remnants of sanity. I'd still rather him save Democracy.

From everything I've read, Trump isn't that popular in Utah. Mormons don't much care for people who have been married multiple times and who also cheat on each spouse. Plus, they don't like gambling and other stuff like that that Trump has been involved with.
There is less political pressure on Romney for that reason.

Round and round and round we go. We better not expect the media to save ourselves.
