Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Sunday slammed a pair of House Republicans after they attended a conference hosted by a prominent white nationalist over the weekend.
“Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar, I don’t know them,” Romney said during an appearance on CNN. “I’m reminded of the old line from the Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid movie where one character says, ‘Morons, I have morons on my team.'”
The senator added there is “no place” in either political party for white nationalism or racism, calling it “simply wrong” for elected leaders associated themselves with white nationalists.
Romney’s statements came after Rep. (R-Ga.) attended a conference hosted by Nick Fuentes, a white nationalist leader, at the Orlando World Center Marriott. Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz) also appeared at the event via pre-recorded video, HuffPost reported.
“I don’t know what his views are, so I’m not aligned with anything that may be controversial,” Greene told CBS News. “I went to his event last night to address his very large following because that is a young, very young, following and a generation I am extremely concerned about.”
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy.) also slammed her fellow House Republicans for attending the conference.
“As Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep Paul Gosar speak at this white supremacist, anti-Semitic, pro-Putin event, silence by Republican Party leaders is deafening and enabling,” Cheney said in a tweet. “All Americans should renounce this garbage and reject the Putin wing of the GOP now.”
“I would think that anybody that would sit down with a white nationalist and speak at their conference would certainly be missing a few IQ points,” Romney said.

ROMNEY IS THE TRAITOR MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EXCUSE ME BUT ROMNEY YOU ARE THE MORON.
The only morons here is Romney and Liz
Rhino moron Rodney must be extracted from the real Republicans! Time to GHTFO!!!
Did they speak? Was anything they said in agreement with what the conference was pushing or were they trying to give the audience – said to be very young – the other side of such destructive, hateful beliefs? Find out why they went. Young people who are on a path such as this might benefit from hearing the opposite view – sooner rather than later. Otherwise, because of the source here, I will comment that Romney has been one of the biggest disappointments for the conservative cause. And surely he recognizes how negative the liberal cause has become in this country!!??? Biden has been – although managed, I believe, by his puppeteers – a human wrecking ball for the USA. I’m not even sure we can/will recover from his path of destruction.
That’s the ONLY place where they fit, takes one to know one
Both Cheney and Romney ARE the “morons” in this situation…Both HATE the Republican Party, are RINOS and WANT Socialism in this country. When it comes time to re-elect these two (they remind me of Bevis and Butthead) THROW THEM OUT!!! Cheney is a disappointment to her voters and Romney hates the fact that no one took him seriously enough to elect him as POTUS (Thank god we didn’t!).
AMEN ! ROMNEY MORON , SILZZY LIZZY Need to be hung out to DRY in the Nearest Geto. Like Chicago , New York or California.

ROMNEY MORON is NO ! Republican. He is a Demo Demon from the other side of the TRACK’S and should be treated as that . RHINO !!
Rest assured if it was blm, Romney and Cheney wouldn’t have said a word!!!!!
The hypocrisy is nauseating.
