Ari Melber Exposes Mitt Romney As Just Another Trump-Appeasing Russia Stooge

From the article:

Mitt Romney has, in part, built his political career on standing up to Vladimir Putin, but his early work in the U.S. Senate has exposed him as just another stooge of Donald Trump and Russia.
MSNBC’s Ari Melber pounced on Romney’s hypocrisy on Thursday, calling him out for voting this week to lift sanctions on Putin-connected businesses.

Romney has the GOP "Presidential look". Old, rich, white, male, and an empty suit.

and if Romney could be taught to act like a human, he could play the President on the series.

Now I'm really wondering. We've learned about the nasty stuff of Trump's Russian collusion and all the help he got from the billionaire class. Would Mitt Romney have done the same thing? It boggles my mind.

would behave in much the same way.

Romney, like Reagan before him, presents with a veneer of politeness, but as his 47% comment showed, the real Mitt Romney is a nasty racist.

Still a vulture capitalist, avoided Vietnam service as he partied around Paris (as much as his church would let him), and has no respect for anyone who is not a multi-millionaire... oh, forgot, Utah
