Utah Sen. Mitt Romney (R) was a guest on NBC’s “Meet The Press” on Sunday. Show host Chuck Todd queried the Republican, who had voted for impeaching the former -guy-who-will-remain-unnamed here.
”Todd: You know, here's the thing with that, and this is what the White House would push back on you on, and they would say this, 147 House Republicans basically don't accept the idea that he won fair and square. You, yourself, thought he had a really tough challenge to bring unity together when you have half the country not believing the results. There are only a handful of you willing to work with him. So, what do you do?
Romney: Well, actually, there are a lot more than a handful that are willing to work with the President. We're willing to work on issues that we care very deeply about. And so, we care, for instance, about family security and making sure that our kids have the resources they need to be able to have a bright future. We care about education. We care about health care. We obviously care about infrastructure. There's a lot that we can do together. We care about immigration. These are things we can do together. And the President's been in the Senate. He knows what it's like and how you have to work on a bipartisan basis. But the idea of saying blow up bipartisanship and just let whosever got the slight majority to do whatever they want, that's not the right way to get things done in America. And it's not the way to unite America. Uniting America finds a pathway in bringing people together and working on a collaborative basis.”
Hey Mitt. Why don’t you tell your obstructionist minority leader Mitch “The Turtleman” McConnell to stop stating that he will fight the Biden administration every step of the way? That sure isn’t “bipartisanship.”
As stated by McConnell in May, 2021, as reported by NBC news:
“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday he is "100 percent" focused "on stopping" President Joe Biden's administration.
Speaking to reporters in his home state of Kentucky, McConnell was asked about the House GOP leadership feud that reached a boiling point this week after Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the third-ranking Republican, again rebutted former President Donald Trump's stolen election lie. McConnell was also asked whether he was concerned about the direction of the party.
"One-hundred percent of our focus is on stopping this new administration," McConnell said, adding, "We're confronted with severe challenges from a new administration, and a narrow majority of Democrats in the House and a 50-50 Senate to turn America into a socialist country, and that's 100 percent of my focus."
So, what’s new? Turtleman said the exact same thing about President Obama and the Obama Administration. He has never wanted “bipartisanship” unless he could call the shots.
There is no “bipartisanship” with the majority of Republicans, who follow their “selected leader,” and don’t want to face the consequences of bucking his reign of terror.
It is time that Democrats find a workaround to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Build Back Better (lame name) Plan. To hell with Mitch and the “Trumplican” Party!
