Romney: 'Unthinkable and unacceptable' to not commit to peaceful transition of power
Source: The Hill
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) pushed back on Wednesday against President Trump, who refused to commit to a peaceful transition of power should he lose the election in November.
"Fundamental to democracy is the peaceful transition of power; without that, there is Belarus. Any suggestion that a president might not respect this Constitutional guarantee is both unthinkable and unacceptable," Romney tweeted.
Romney did not mention Trump by name in his tweet, but it came hours after Trump told reporters at the White House, when asked if he would commit to ensuring a peaceful transition of power if he loses in November, that he would have to see what happens," and tried once again to sow doubt about the security of mail-in ballots.

You agreed to allow a vote for his fascist SC nominee and RBG isn't even buried yet. You have no commitment whatsoever to opposing his abuses of power in any meaningful way.
Like Ann Richards said of W, "All hat and no cattle." You don't even have a hat.
