In yet another example of our broken and unfair justice system, former and maybe future President Donald Trump has revealed that he received a target letter related to the investigation into the events of January 6th. It’s clear that the weaponization of the government knows no bounds, with even some of Trump’s fellow Republicans speaking out against this injustice. However, there is one Republican who seems to have forgotten which team he’s playing for: Senator Mitt Romney.
Mitt Romney Sounds Like a Democrat With His Response to GOP Concerns of Justice System https://t.co/HPJ4YUMbkE

Romney recently appeared on CNN and sounded more like a Democrat than a Republican. He actually had the audacity to suggest that there are “two systems” of justice in our country. I mean, really? This is the same man who voted to convict Trump not once, but twice, during his impeachment trials. Talk about betrayal!
Romney added that, "anytime a a person is indicted they they accused the Justice Department of being unfair." ⁰
He said that one of the challenges in the country is the "diminution of institutions in which we rely as a society."— Manu Raju (@mkraju) July 18, 2023
"A democracy works and we have confidence in the justice system and the legal system in our prosecutors and so forth," he said. "If we constantly attack and diminish them that weakens our democracy,” he said

Not only did Romney have the nerve to acknowledge that Trump did some “terrible things” on January 6th, but he also had the audacity to talk about “confidence in the justice system.” Well, let me tell you, Senator Romney, the American people have lost confidence in our so-called justice system a long time ago. And it’s not just because of how they treat Trump, but also because of how they handle the investigations into the Biden family.
Polling has shown that a majority of Americans believe these charges are politically motivated, especially as we approach the 2024 presidential election where Trump is leading in the polls. It’s clear that the Biden Department of Justice is just trying to kneecap their number one opponent. This is a pattern we’ve seen time and time again from the left, and it’s just plain wrong.
But let’s not forget about Romney’s own political future. It seems that he’s considering running for reelection next year, and let me tell you, the polls are not in his favor. He’s facing a primary challenge and his numbers are looking pretty bleak. Mayor Trent Staggs has already thrown his hat in the ring, and Utah House Speaker Brad Wilson is raising record amounts of money for his potential campaign. Looks like Romney’s days in the Senate may be numbered.
It’s clear that Romney has lost touch with his conservative roots. He’s become more concerned with appeasing the liberal media and playing nice with the Democrats than standing up for the principles he supposedly believes in. The American people deserve better than a senator who forgets which side he’s on. It’s time for Romney to step aside and make room for a true conservative leader who will fight for our values.
