Sen. Mitt Romney Warns Of Dire Threats To A Blind Nation 'In Denial' "A classic example of denial comes from Donald Trump: 'I won in a landslide,'" the senator noted, quoting the former president. ........ “When a renowned conservative former federal appellate judge testifies that we are already in a war for our democracy and that January 6, 2021, was a genuine constitutional crisis, MAGA loyalists snicker that he speaks slowly and celebrate that most people weren’t watching,” wrote the frustrated senator. ......... Romney was referring to the powerful testimony last month before the Jan. 6 House panel by retired Judge J. Michael Luttig. He called Trump and his supporters “a clear and present danger to American democracy” for their attempts to toss out the results of a presidential election they didn’t like, adding, “Our democracy today is on a knife’s edge.” ........ Romney notes how Americans have lived for decades in a “very forgiving time” with a stable climate and a generally strong economy and democracy, but there’s no margin for major error now. ........... “President Joe Biden is a genuinely good man, but he has yet been unable to break through our national malady of denial, deceit and distrust.” .
