Mitt Romney Excoriates ‘Disgusting’ Pro-Putin Republicans: ‘Almost Treasonous’ --- IT IS TREASONOUS
Senator
Mitt Romney (R-UT) tore into his fellow Republicans who have spoken positively about
Vladimir Putin, or offered advantageous statements to Russia while Ukraine remains under attack.
Romney gave a broad-range interview to CNN’s
Dana Bash on Sunday, commenting on everything from the situation in Ukraine, to Congresswoman
Marjorie Taylor-Greene’s (R-GA)
decision to speak at the white nationalist America First Political Action Conference. At one point, Bash asked Romney for his thoughts on the “pro-Putin sentiments” that a
fraction of the GOP has embraced in terms of whether the U.S. should intervene in Russia’s aggression toward Ukraine.
Romney’s response:
Romney didn’t specify who exactly he was talking about, though his comments could have been referring to Fox News’
Tucker Carlson, who
dismissed Russia’s threat to Ukraine until they began their military assault against the country. As it were, former President
Donald Trump has been repeatedly
calling Putin “smart” while ragging on his political foes throughout the international crisis.
Bash said to Romney, “Treasonous is a big word, so I just have to quickly follow. Would that include the former president?”
“Well, I said it’s nearly treasonous,” Romney answered. “Standing up for freedom is the right thing to do in America. Anything less than that, in my opinion, is unworthy of American support.”
