Mitt Romney Knocks ‘Moron’ Marjorie Taylor Greene for Speaking at White Nationalist Event: ‘Certainly Missing a Few IQ Points’
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) called out members of his own party on Sunday for attending a white supremacist conference this weekend, likening GOP Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar to “morons” who are “certainly missing a few IQ points.”
Republican leadership has been mostly silent in the wake of Greene’s surprise appearance at Friday’s America First Political Action Conference, which is a white nationalist rival of the Conservative Political Action Conference. Prior to Greene taking the stage, AFPAC founder Nick Fuentes praised Russian President Vladimir Putin for invading Ukraine. Fuentes even went so far after Greene’s speech to sympathetically compare Putin with Adolf Hitler.
Gosar, meanwhile, also spoke at the event for the 2nd straight year as the Arizona congressman has become close allies with Fuentes. While conservative leaders have tried to ignore the issue, and Greene herself has ridiculously asserted that she doesn’t know Fuentes or his racist views, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) spoke out this weekend about the “deafening and enabling” silence of GOP leadership.
