MITT ROMNEY, CNN: How anybody in this country, which loves freedom, can side with Vladimir Putin, which is an oppressor, a dictator, he kills people, he imprisons his political opponents, he has been an adversary of America at every chance he's had. It's unthinkable to me. It's...almost treasonous.
Well, you don't love America enough, says the man who thinks America is racist. How does that work exactly? We're not sure, but in case you've forgotten, here's the very same Mitt Romney marching with the very same people who told us that this is a White supremacist hellhole and, by the way, we've got to do away with the nuclear family. That's never done anybody any good. Here he is:
MITT ROMNEY: We need to end violence and brutality and to make sure that people understand that Black Lives Matter. (Romney on the streets supporting BLM)
On Sunday, yesterday, Mitt Romney edged a little closer. Here's what he wrote to Tulsi Gabbard. Now, Tulsi Gabbard is a former member of Congress who currently serves as lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve and, unlike Mitt Romney, has been deployed.
"Tulsi Gabbard is parroting false Russian propaganda. Her treasonous lies may well cost lives." Treasonous lies have cost lives, potentially. So, you're betraying your country and committing murder. So, what exactly did Tulsi Gabbard do? Did she call for a violent overthrow of the United States government? Does she come out and pledge allegiance to Putin? Did she get a Cyrillic tattoo on her neck? No, she didn't.
What she said is, we have a problem, here's how we know. She cited publicly available information and said we should probably deal with that problem. But, in any case, here you have Mitt Romney, who was a consultant, for God's sakes, accusing someone who's been in the Army for nearly two decades of treason.
People didn't used to talk that way. Treason is a death penalty offense. It's absurd on its face, but if you watch the video that got Mitt Romney to call a fellow American treasonous and suggest she was committing murder, it really makes your head spin. Here's what Tulsi Gabbard actually said that made Mitt Romney accuse her of betraying her own country:
TULSI GABBARD: Here are the undeniable facts. There are 25 to 30 U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine. According to the U.S. government, these biolabs are conducting research on dangerous pathogens. Ukraine is in an active war zone with widespread bombing, artillery and shelling, and these facilities, even in the best of circumstances, could easily be compromised and release these deadly pathogens.
