It was about time someone told Mitt Romney the truth…
President Donald Trump shredded Utah Sen. Mitt Romney after the senator attacked the president over his call on China to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.
“When the only American citizen President Trump singles out for China’s investigation is his political opponent in the midst of the Democratic nomination process, it strains credulity to suggest that it is anything other than politically motivated,” the senator said.
“By all appearances, the president’s brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is wrong and appalling.”

President Trump stayed quiet for a day after Romney made his statement, but on Saturday he came fighting back at him.
“Somebody please wake up Mitt Romney and tell him that my conversation with the Ukrainian President was a congenial and very appropriate one.
“And my statement on China pertained to corruption, not politics. If Mitt worked this hard on Obama, he could have won. Sadly, he choked!
“Mitt Romney never knew how to win. He is a pompous ‘ass’ who has been fighting me from the beginning, except when he begged me for my endorsement for his Senate run (I gave it to him).
“And when he begged me to be Secretary of State (I didn’t give it to him). He is so bad for R’s!” the president said.

I’m hearing that the Great People of Utah are considering their vote for their Pompous Senator, Mitt Romney, to be a big mistake. I agree! He is a fool who is playing right into the hands of the Do Nothing Democrats! #IMPEACHMITTROMNEY

The tweets from President Trump also came after Democrats in The House subpoenaed documents for their impeachment inquiry, Reuters reported.
U.S. House Democrats on Friday subpoenaed the White House for documents they want to see as part of their impeachment investigation of President Donald Trump.
The chairmen of three House of Representatives committees said they want documents related to a July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that is at the heart of their inquiry.
The three said they were forced to issue the subpoena after the White House failed to produce documents they requested in a Sept. 9 letter.
“We deeply regret that President Trump has put us – and the nation – in this position, but his actions have left us with no choice but to issue this subpoena,” said Representatives Elijah Cummings of the Oversight Committee, Adam Schiff of the Intelligence Committee and Eliot Engel of the Foreign Affairs Committee.
They gave the White House until Oct. 18 to produce the information, including who else besides Trump was on the phone call with Zelenskiy.
“This subpoena changes nothing – just more document requests, wasted time, and taxpayer dollars that will ultimately show the President did nothing wrong,” White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said in a statement.
White House lawyers believe Trump, a Republican, can ignore lawmakers’ demands until the Democratic-controlled House holds a full vote of the chamber to formally approve of the impeachment inquiry, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Earlier, the committees asked Vice President Mike Pence to hand over documents relating to a meeting he held with Zelenskiy and the call between Zelenskiy and Trump.
They gave Pence until Oct. 15 to produce any records relating to the July call and a meeting he held with Zelenskiy on Sept. 1.
According to a partial transcript of the call, Trump asked Zelenskiy the “favor” of investigating former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, a leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, and his son, Hunter Biden, who had served on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma.
At the time, the Trump administration was withholding hundreds of millions in aid for Ukraine and Democrats said they suspect Trump was using U.S. foreign policy and taxpayer money for his personal political gain. Trump is running for re-election.
“Recently, public reports have raised questions about any role you may have played in conveying or reinforcing the president’s stark message to the Ukrainian president,” Cummings, Schiff and Engel wrote in a letter to Pence.
A spokeswoman for Pence said the broad nature of the request showed that it was not “serious.”

There are good Mormons and there are Jack Mormons that undermine the LDS Church.
Mitt Romney is an embarrassment to the LDS Church and an embarrassment to the people of Utah.
“Endorse a Mormon and he will bite you” – that’s what Mitt Romney is proving to Trump and had already proved to America.
Ya, and who the hell could ever believe a “Single Word” from Mitt “The Mormon Communist” Romney!!!!!!!!!!!
THE ESTABLISHMENT: … THE WASHINGTON POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT, REMEMBER THIS?????
Well, Mitt Romney is just that … “A Member of that Underground Group” consisting of the “DEEP STATE” made up of Mainly Democrats and Some Republicans ….. to control the USA Federal Government ……You Got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You see Mitt Romney wasn’t always a Member of “”The Washington Political Establish” but after getting Beat by Obama …. he found out he couldn’t Beat Them …. so He (Romney) joined them now a RHINO … ah, ex: Paul Ryan – Past GOP Speaker became a RHINO too!!!!! Now … “got all that,” too???????
Mitt Romney has been politically ineffective for years … while there may have been periods of time where he may have made contributions, it is simply time for him to move on to something new. Like so many descendants of wealthy and powerful families, he has stumbled at nearly everything he has tried, especially within the Political arena. Hopefully, he will land on something fun and productive to do within this great Nation. He needs to clearly understand that his contributions to our Political and Governmental issues are no longer needed.
Mitt Romney is a CarpetBagger, a bitter loser, and if it weren’t for the cult of Mormons his ass would be back in Utah not D.C. He is RINO at best and a closet Demorat .Junior Senator, and shouldn’t be that. Phony to the inth degree.He should have been in the Obama Admin. He is that type, a deep state liar.
The Mormons are a cult and Mitt Romney is part of a cult. He could not win the presidency if he tried and he’s jealous of Trump because he smarter and more direct and honest than Mitt Romney could ever be. Vote Trump 20/20!
