Romney: Biden ‘Goes Down the Same Tragic Road Taken by President Trump,’ Casting Doubt on Elections – By Susan Jones (CNS News) / January 12, 2022
(CNSNews.com) – After hearing President Joe Biden’s speech in Atlanta on Tuesday, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) went to the Senate floor to express his disappointment that Biden “said quite a number of things that simply weren’t true.”
Biden, speaking in Atlanta, compared senators who oppose the Democrats’ voting legislation to racists and segregationists, and while that’s “sad,” Romney said, it’s not the worst thing Biden said:
He…accused a number of my good and principled colleagues in the Senate of having sinister, even racist inclinations. He charged that voting against his bill allies us with Bull Connor, George Wallace and Jefferson Davis. So much for unifying the country and working across the aisle.
More troubling, however, he said that the goal of some Republicans is to quote, “turn back the will of the voters into a mere suggestion.” And so President Biden goes down the same tragic road taken by President Trump, casting doubt on the reliability of American elections. This is a sad, sad day. I expected more of President Biden, who came into office with the stated goal of bringing the country together.
