Mitt Romney is the first pseudo-Republican to come out and say he will vote for the 9-11 style commission which covers the January 6th riot, but not the state-sponsored Brownshirts of antifa and Black Lives Matter.

Asked how he would vote if Senate Majority LeaderĀ Charles SchumerĀ (D-N.Y.) tried to start debate on the House bill, a move that requires 60 votes to defeat a filibuster, Romney told reporters, ā€œI would support the bill.ā€

Romney wasn’t asked how he would vote on final passage of the House bill, which would need onlyĀ a simple majority. Spokespeople for Romney didn’t immediately respond to a question about if he would change his vote after helping defeat a GOP filibuster, reports The Hill.

But Romney’s comments come as Schumer has vowed that he will bring the bill up for a vote, setting up what could be the first successful filibuster of the 117th Congress.

Schumer hasn’t said when he’ll bring up the House bill but characterized the timing on Monday as ā€œvery soon.ā€

But Democrats remain short of the votes needed to defeat a filibuster as GOP opposition to the House-passed bill as it’s currently drafted hardens.

Sen.Ā Bill CassidyĀ (R-La.) previously told reporters that he was inclined to vote for it, and Susan Collins is in negotiations with Schumer.

Lost me at: …. former-vulture-fascist: Parteigenosse Romney is the first pseudo “republican” ….

TRANSLATION: Creator and instigator of Massachusetts’ mother of all Obamacare, the effective fascist-Marxist, Kamarad Romney, continues to act as if he’s a “democrat.”

In today’s other as-riveting news, The Sun rose in the east and the pope is still a Stalinist.

Great job China Mitch with your junk RINO caucus. You need just 7 more votes while you can pretend that you are a good guy. You supported the coup and the insurrection fable.
