And this applies to US Rep. Liz Cheney too. I may never agree with her politically, and I consider the Cheney family to be almost purely evil, but right is right.
For both, I attribute it to "stopped clock syndrome" :) .
Romney gave an interview to CNN today.
From the transcript of that interview (emphasis added by me) -
[snip]
BASH: You talked several times during this interview about the world seeing the difference between good and evil.
I want to bring that closer to home and talk about something that Congresswoman Liz Cheney tweeted yesterday about sitting Republican House members appearing at a white nationalist gathering.
She said -- quote -- "As Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar speak at this white supremacist, anti-Semitic, pro-Putin event, silence by Republican Party leaders is deafening and enabling. All Americans should renounce this garbage and reject the Putin wing of the GOP now."
Do you agree?
ROMNEY: Absolutely. Liz Cheney was right with that statement. And she's been right for a long time.
And I also saw that Ronna McDaniel came out with a statement as well talking about how repugnant these white nationalists are.
Look, there's no place in either political party for this white nationalism or racism. It's simply wrong. It's -- it's -- as you have indicated, speaking of evil, it's evil as well.
And 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 have got morons on my team."
And I have to think anybody that would sit down with white nationalists and speak at their conference was certainly missing a few I.Q. points.
Public figures calling Paul Gosar a "moron" get some respect in my book; of course, morons everywhere are like "Really? That was low."
