From The Hill, “Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) told embattled Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) he shouldn’t have attended the State of the Union address, much less positioned himself near the center of the House aisle to shake hands, slamming the New York Republican as ‘an embarrassment.’ Romney appeared to have a heated encounter with the disgraced freshman lawmaker as he walked down the aisle to take his seat for Biden’s address. ‘I don’t know the exact words I said. He shouldn’t have been there. Look, he’s a sick puppy. He shouldn’t have been there,’ Romney told reporters after the speech.”
I see the MSM joining the bandwagon of praise for Romney’s rebuke of Santos, but I think there is a subtle distinction that must not be overlooked, and it’s this: When Romeny says “sick puppy,” he is making a nuanced dig, not so much at his pathological lying but the fact that he’s gay and more importantly got caught in drag. So, let’s not praise Romney, for he’s more disgusted that Santos is gay than he is the new stereotype of the RepubliKKKlan Party. Mark my words. Morons hate the gays, and I don’t care that Romney voted for the Marriage Equality Act. One act does not erase a lifetime of hatred convictions.
