The other day, Sen. Mitt Romney tweeted the following:
“I have now read the redacted Mueller report and offer my personal reaction.
“... I am sickened at the extent and pervasiveness of dishonesty and misdirection by individuals in the highest office of the land, including the President.
“... Reading the report is a sobering revelation of how far we have strayed from the aspirations and principles of the founders.”
Thankfully, Romney wrote candidly about the daily pattern of dishonesty by the man we elected to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States. President Trump has protected only one person — himself.
As Romney spoke truth to power, sadly he stood alone in doing so. Our other senator and our Republican representatives chose party loyalty over duty to the rule of law, defending our democracy and representing Utah’s citizens. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Our Constitution is clearly under attack. If it is to survive, we will need more principled statesmen who will defend truth and exercise genuine oversight over Trump and his cronies.
