The irony of @MittRomney condemning someone for being an imposter on the campaign trail is quite interesting. Mitt Promised: Represent Utah BUT held no town halls and worked against @BasedMikeLee and rest of Utah delegation Budget Hawk BUT voted for every budget buster Support Trump BUT voted to impeach 2x Stand up to the liberal agenda BUT marched with BLM In the end, Mitt served himself.
“I don’t know that I can disrespect someone more than JD Vance” – Mitt Romney 'Romney: A Reckoning" I requested an interview with Senator Romney this week to discuss Trump's VP pick but was told the Senator did not have time in his schedule. #utpol theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…

Those in the know, know who that MWEG is a progressive Democrat run organization. I had no idea how subversive the organization is.
🧵🚨 THREAD: How Mormon Women for Ethical Government fits into a State Department–backed effort to remake America 🚨 Every Utahn needs to read this and be aware of the coup that's happening within their borders. Recently, Mormon Women for Ethical Government (MWEG) secured a court victory and a safe Democratic seat in a new map through a judge's ruling. The Utah legislature must impeach the judge -- not only because of their activism, but also to send a message: Utah will not permit outside backed NGOs to infiltrate and succeed in their plan to turn America into a democracy. That's right. Mormon Women for Ethical Government is not who they seem to be. They are part of an "interfaith" ecosystem to infiltrate Utah and LDS and transform America from the bottom up. I have the receipts. As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

Excited to hear that women’s sports are finally safe in Utah thanks to @KeraBirk. When Former Rep. Birkeland said we needed a bill to stop men playing in women’s sports, I thought there’s no way that’s real… and then we saw what happened to @Riley_Gaines_.
In Utah, the legal battle regarding men playing on women’s sports teams has come to a definitive end. Under HB 11 from 2022, it is now established law that men are prohibited from participating on women’s teams. Utah recently learned that the commission element is no longer necessary, and the lawsuit challenging this ban has been dismissed with prejudice. I want to sincerely express gratitude for my many colleagues who helped get us here! We've achieved a significant victory! 👊🏼👊🏼🥳
