Senator Mitt Romney repeatedly hammered the President over a transcript of a phone conversation between him and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, referring to Trump’s actions as “deeply troubling.”
“I did read the transcript. It remains troubling in the extreme. It’s deeply troubling,” Romney relayed to reporters. “Clearly what we’ve seen from the transcript itself is deeply troubling.”
When is Mitt (?-UT) going to make it official and switch his party affiliation?
To the contrary, the transcript revealed there was absolutely no quid pro quo involving investigation of former vice president Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. Nothing inappropriate was mentioned on the call, and no threats were made.
Romney is flat-out echoing Democrat talking points on the subject. Which is … deeply troubling.

Prior to the release of the transcript, Romney was critical of the President over hearsay involving the conversation.
“If the President asked or pressured Ukraine’s president to investigate his political rival, either directly or through his personal attorney, it would be troubling in the extreme. Critical for the facts to come out,” he said over the weekend.
The facts just came out, Mitt. And the facts don’t suggest he withheld military aid to force Ukraine’s hand on investigating the Bidens. In fact, the transcript clearly shows there was no mention of any US aid package to Ukraine on the call at all.
The entire basis for this impeachment inquiry has imploded on the Democrats. Perhaps that is what Romney is truly ‘troubled’ over.
Even more troubling is that, after attacking Trump with fact-free analysis on the matter, Romney then set about defending House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for pursuing impeachment.
“That’s not advice I’m going to be providing to the House or to the Speaker,” he said. “She’s able to do what she feels is right. That’s up to her. At this stage the process is to continue to gather information but clearly what we’ve seen from the transcript itself is deeply troubling.”

Romney recently announced that he would not endorse any presidential candidate in the 2020 race, including President Trump.
After accepting Trump’s endorsement for Utah senator in 2018, Romney wrote a scathing op-ed indicating the President had failed to live up to the “mantle” of the presidency.
Trump has said Romney’s repeated criticism of him stems from the fact that “I won big, and he didn’t.”

Utah needs to recall Romney. He is embarrassing this conservative state. We should have know always an east coast liberal. Don’t come back to Utah you are finished here. If we had wanted a democrat we would have voted for one. Shame on you
So, Trump rejected you Mitt, get over it! You’re causing the American people to reject you now which is worse.
How can a good Mormon keep so much hate inside, and still practice the faith?
Thank God romney didn t become the president…he would have been worse then obama.
The parties both have imposters in them, that are there to learn what the party is planning so they can share it with the party they secretly support. It’s spying, but not honorably spying, like James Bond. It’s low down spying of the meanest nature. We know of a republican from Vermont and one from Massachusetts who are spying on the republicans and there are several more around the country.
When his lips move, just like liberal socialist democrats, Romney is lying.
As goes Romney so goes Ryan. What a putz. How do the Mormons tolerate such a putz?
Romney is a bona fide RINO–and fiercely HATES Trump cuz he’s jealous on Trump’s victory
which he himself could not attain- even against a neophyte candidate.
UTAH voters-remember this traitor on his re-election. Time to vote this MF out!!
Oh you RINO ROMNEY, The only thing deeply troubling is that you got a seat in the Senate. You really didn’t earn it, it was given to you by Hatch, who was also a RINO. I am from Utah and I am deeply troubled and ashamed of both of you supposedly acting for the good of Utah and the rest of the US. YOU GO TRUMP, AND WE WILL TRY AND GET RID OF THE RINO’S AND HOPEFULLY THE SQUAD.
He has always been a shill….. a stand in that pretends to be Republican. He’s gone against Trump on many things. He stands on his religion? But is afraid to come out and tell some of the things that are IN his own Book of Mormon. Hey Mitt!! How bout you tell us how black people became black? K? Crickets….
This site is operated by anal brain democrats.
America is a repulsive disgrace.
Trump is a democrat. Trick or Treat.
How embarrassing for Utah to have a senator like this. Mutt Romney’s jealousy is so obvious. I can see mutt sitting in a corner at night crying “if I can’t be president, neither can he.” Should we get him a participation trophy?
Romney is a Moran, I mean Mormon, and those that voted for him seem to be in the same boat. Sorry for those in Utah that are real patriots.
Talk about sour grapes…
Romney is so full of jealousy he cannot see straight or realize that he has betrayed his party simply because he covets what Trump has.
He is to be both pitied and condemned and with his behavior towards our president it is a good thing that he lost his bid for president. He has shown America that above anything else he will not be loyal to his party or even his own beliefs.
Did anyone expect any better from Romney?. He is not even a good Mormon. He was not trustworthy before…nothing has changed.
Romney is a snake
Romney is from his village’s wife
Who asked about Romney in Utah?
Romney is a globalist x 10 … he wants cheap labor here and doesn’t care how he gets it … illegal workers ok by him … Trump embarrassed him politically and personally … he won’t get over it … even if the country suffers as a result ….
Utah, I find your new junior Senator troubling. Recall his Rinoass and send him back to Massachusetts. He’s a loser.
Romney is a disgusting person not to mention a person that will go against the will of the people. His voters need to replace him.
HE WANTS TO STEAL THE NOMINATION FROM TRUMP FOR 2020… GO TRUMP 2020.
Romney is deeply troubling…
Romney hasn’t betrayed the Republican Party but he has betrayed his prophet, Joe Smith. The Mormon Church’s fearless leader who met Jesus Christ in Wisconsin and received two golden plaques with instructions for him to carry on Jesus’s work on earth. Now Mitt has shown his disdain for the American people, his many wives and his two hundred children.
What a wonderful guy we have in Mitt Romney.
Of course it is troubling to Romney. His step son, along with Bidens son and Whitey Bolgers nephew stand to be exposed by the Ukrainians and the path probably leads right back to dad.
Mitt Romney = John Kasich 2.0
I am sorry to say I voted for Romney, I have been so disappointed in him since then, he has done his best to undermine the President and should be ashamed of himself. I feel sorry for the people of Utah. I would never vote for Romney for anything.
I find Romney’s remarks “deeply troubling” and sickening. He accepted Trump’s endorsement in 2018 when he ran for the Senate in Utah, but almost immediately after he won his election has been attacking Trump constantly. He has sold his soul to the Democrats and is a traitor to the Republican party.
Romney is about as low as low can get, he’s so damn low that if a snake crawled by he would swear it was airborne !!!!
never liked him his hair has too much motor oil on it.
He is a deceiver and a fool. He looks intelligent and godly on the outside but is filled with lies and believes lies easily.
Traitor to the party. Romney stop fighting the president, you will never be a president.
Time for Romney to be “shunned”. Isn’t that what Mormons do in Utah? Just ignore him. Pass him on the street like he didn’t exist? It’s time for him to tell the truth. He’s a liberal Democrat.
Romney is an absolute disgrace.
Well he can’t fool voters anymore.
probably his last term in the Senate.
Romney is just another POS.
I will boldly declare my disgust with the continuing anti-Trump stance taken by our senator from Utah, Romney. I withdraw any and all support and will work to terminate any future political intentions; which I believe are to run for president in 2024. Shame on you Senator Romney, you have betrayed this constituent and have brought embarrassment to the Great State of Utah. I sincerely hope I represent a substantial number of your supporters.
fing RINO. Chose Sarah Palin, not because she’s good, but because he knew he’d lose with her. Gave the Presidency to Obama. Just a RINO like McCain. We haven’t had a REPUBLICAN since Ronald Reagan. Now Donald Trump. We’re in trouble if he loses.
Keep your cool republicans, it takes TWO THIRDS in the Senate to convict a President of the Impeachment charges. Even if Romney does ‘go over the wall’, Trump won’t be thrown out of office !!!
F$&k Romney the RINO POS!
Still pissed for losing his run for president… Up yours Romney
Someone had to take McCain’s place I guess Romney elected himself! How depressing, at one time Romney was a person to look up to!!
It doesn’t matter what political affiliation Romney is. He’s still sore that he isn’t President and is a back stabber to boot..true colors shinning through
This is a worthless POS.
I have two words for Romney, and they’re not “Happy birthday”.
And they’re richly deserved.
Pig.
ROMNEY and AOC would make a good team since they both are the deepest bottom feeders in the swamp….PERIOD…. He is also a disgrace to his religion….
He wants to be president himself and thinks would be welcomed by disillusioned republicans and democrats both. He should be ashamed of himself but he probably sees no harm in his deplorable lack of support for our President. You are a bad joke Mitt.
Perfect example of a loser badmouthing a winner.
Romney you are as two faced as they come. Go after Biden he is the person with criminal intent. Romney if it were in my power, I would ask your resignation. You are you a disgrace to the Republican party.
