But Johnny, you just led us brilliantly in this discussion of Mitt Romney. I thank you for the phone call. This audience! Johnny just puts this up as a set-put for me.<\/p>\n<p>Mitt Romney has been given, by Caroline Kennedy, the (laughing) Profiles in Courage Award. Conrad Black from the Epoch Times points out, &#8220;President John Kennedy\u2019s daughter, Ambassador Caroline Kennedy, said in announcing the award, &#8216;Senator Romney\u2019s commitment to our Constitution makes him a worthy successor to senators who inspired my father to write Profiles in Courage.'&#8221; Conrad Black says (laughing), &#8220;Well, Kennedy did not write Profiles in Courage. The well-known historian Jebs MacGregor Burns did,&#8221; and he goes on similarly to point out something that I believe.<\/p>\n<p>Listen. I don\u2019t do conspiracy theories. I\u2019m always grounded in fact. But I will tell you something: There is no Mitt Romney. I mean, there\u2019s a father and there\u2019s a businessman, but there\u2019s no Mitt Romney. There\u2019s a series of positions that he will take when it suits him such as marching in a Black Lives Matter, Inc., event in Washington, D.C., the same summer as one of the leaders of that (What\u2019d they call themselves?) trained Marxists said, &#8220;We\u2019ll burn America down if we don\u2019t get what we want.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Romney marched with them. But when President Trump told people to proceed &#8220;peacefully and patriotically&#8221; on January 6th, Romney voted to impeach President Trump for inciting an insurrection, wherein the people who allegedly performed the insurrection forgot to bring guns. Romney&#8230; Romney is a guy who people challenged his conservative credentials. He said this. &#8220;Well, I\u2019m a severe conservative.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div id=\"zype_606370cbd812b60001603514\"><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/player.zype.com\/embed\/606370cbd812b60001603514.js?api_key=6yUf3WZePk78GtpC3BXdZSqZ5ma_gYmV_rEJ8OYJZ0wq3AlDKM2RFnOcBN0xiMco&#038;controls=true\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Do you ever call yourself that? &#8220;What do you think of yourself on the political spectrum?&#8221; &#8220;Oh, I\u2019m a severe conservative! I\u2019m a harsh conservative! I\u2019m a torturous conservative.&#8221; Severe? This is courage. Mitt Romney wanted something. Mitt Romney\u2019s getting something. So look. Here\u2019s the fact, K? And this is vital. Rush knew what Mitt Romney was about from way back when Mitt was pretending he was a, quote, &#8220;severe conservative.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/daily\/2019\/09\/25\/mitt-romney-cozies-up-to-pelosi-on-impeachment\/\">Rush also knew who Mitt was trying to impress.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Romney\u2019s one of these RINOs, a mainstream Republican who\u2019s almost afraid to be a Republican and thinks he\u2019s gotta apologize for Republicans and who they are and conservatives and who they are. He\u2019s one of these guys that wants to go out and try to make sure that whenever the Democrats want to attack Republicans, they leave him alone \u2019cause he\u2019s actually reasonable and all.<\/p>\n<p>This is the guy &#8212; and I want everybody to remember this &#8212; this is the guy that Harry Reid said in 2012 that a friend told him Romney hadn\u2019t paid his taxes in 10 years. The media said to Harry Reid, &#8220;Well, what who\u2019s your friend? We need to ask somebody about this, where\u2019s your proof?&#8221; And Harry Reid said, &#8220;You\u2019re asking the wrong guy. You need to go ask Romney why he hasn\u2019t paid his taxes in 10 years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-389725\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/APP-20201-033021-Romney-Trump.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/APP-20201-033021-Romney-Trump.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/APP-20201-033021-Romney-Trump-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/APP-20201-033021-Romney-Trump-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So they did. And so it became an ongoing part of Romney\u2019s presidential campaign that he is alleged to not have paid taxes in 10 years. Everybody knew it was bogus but they ran with it anyway. Romney\u2019s cozying up to these people? Mitt Romney was also the target of dirty Democrat ads claiming that an employee of his wife died because Romney was so cold-hearted he didn\u2019t extend health care to the guy\u2019s wife. And so the guy\u2019s wife died and Romney didn\u2019t care. And Romney is cozying up to these guys?<\/p>\n<p>And can we forget, they said Mitt Romney hates animals. Family vacation, put the dog on the top of the station wagon. Then when Romney was trying to prove that he was not involved in a War on Women, he produced a notebook that was filled with resumes of potential female employees. That was twisted and turned into Romney is some kind of a pervert! Look at all these women in this notebook that Romney been collecting, they said. And he\u2019s out cozying up to them?<\/p>\n<p>TODD: That\u2019s a profile in courage, right? I mean, at least Romney had that binder and Andy Cuomo has a binder. What does he call women? What did he say recently? (impression) &#8220;I ain\u2019t going anywhere, sweet pants.&#8221; Was it sweet pants or&#8230;? Not sweet pants. Okay, got it. I didn\u2019t know we were allowed to say that &#8212; and, in fact, I don\u2019t say that. Profile in courage! To vote to impeach a man for not doing what Joe Biden in fact did. (Snort!)<\/p>\n<p>To march in a parade &#8212; or, pardon me, a protest &#8212; by a domestic terror group, Black Lives Matter, Inc., a group that has gotten more black people, including black cops, killed than they\u2019ve helped! Incredible courage of Mitt Romney. This is why I say, there is no Mitt Romney. There are a series of positions that Romney will take in order to get to be this, like, &#8220;productized&#8221; Mitt Romney, the shell of Mitt Romney, there\u2019s a shell of a man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Romney&#039;s one of these RINOs, a mainstream Republican who&#039;s almost afraid to be a Republican.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":389725,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
