I voted for Romney even though I do not like anything about him. No way I, as a Southsider in Chicago, could vote for Obama! Did you vote for Romney or Obama?
We used to have the Republican party to put things right after the democrats screwed things up. Those days are long gone. Now we have the fastest party, which is worse. Sad days indeed
As a life-long Democrat from Hawaii, I’d like to thank to you for your many years of Service with integrity! 💙❤ ❤💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎉🎆🎇 I’m sad to see you go, but you History will remember you favorably. 👍🤞🙏🇺🇸🤓😎
@@tedlewis309 no, he was a REAL Republican. He was the Republican nominee for president in 2012! Trump is the RINO that contaminated the party - and turned into the party of Trump.
Thank you Senator Romney for being a great Senator and showing courage and a backbone especially during the Trump years. You showed patriotism and integrity when so many other republicans would not.
When you were first elected, I figured you were going to be just another guest in the seat Hatch had held for 40 years. The Senator from Pittsburg had been replaced by the Senator from Massachusetts. But, you ended up doing the right thing. More than once. I knew you were doing fine when the members of your own party were upset with you. As one who lived in Utah longer than you did, I thank you for your service. God speed.
Farewell and good luck Mitt. I don't actually know much about you, but I do know that you have been a strong supporter of Ukraine. I suspect your absence from congress will be sorely missed by all decent people going into this second Trump term. Best of luck to all of us.
Thank you Senator. A decent man and honorable Public Service. Had you won in 2012, the course that this country is on would have been so very different.
@AntNBen Spineless? You mean he didn’t submit to King Trump’s will at every turn? He made a real effort to work together with both ‘sides’ and actually step beyond partisan bullshit to do his job by creating laws that actually help the American people.
You are truly a class act Senator Romney. This country is great because of people like you. My heart broke when you lost the presidential election. We all would have been better with you at helm. May God Bless and keep you in good health and happiness always🙏
Enjoy your retirement, knowing that you made a difference and have earned our respect. You retain your honor, dignity, and integrity. (As a lifelong Democrat, I can truthfully say that we could benefit from more people like you in our leadership.)
Thank you Senator Romney. You were one of the last true statesmen in a world of unending partisan theatrics. We desperately need more people like you on both sides of the aisle.
I am a democrat and if you were running for a president I would have gladly voted for you unquestionably. Thank you for all you have done to this country. This country and countrymen like myself will truly dearly miss you. Thank you Thank you and Thank you.❤
Fierce Democrat here, from the bottom of my heart: Thank you, Mitt. Your speech and vote on the first impeachment over Ukraine was one of the things that politically activated me in my 20s; it made me feel patriotic for one of the first times in my life. Your honor and character have been a lamppost for me in these dark and troubling times, and you have my undying respect. I wish your colleagues were half as inspired by your courage and integrity as I, who once counted myself your political enemy, have been. May your action rebuking a tyrant stand resolute in its place among the heroic statues that line the halls of our history. You have done right by our founding principles; future generations deserve to know you stood fast and held strong against the tide of a demagogue that swept away the values of your party.
PERHAPS THE MOST SPIRITUALLY PURE POLITICIAN EVER TO SERVE IN CONGRESS. ALWAYS READY TO CROSS THE AISLE, FORM BIPARTISAN COALITIONS, A LONE VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS CALLING OUT CORRUPTION WITHIN HIS OWN PARTY. VERILY THIS MAN OF GOD HAS LEFT AN ENDURING PATHWAY IN HOW A DEDICATED HUSBAND, FATHER AND FRIEND CAN WORK IN THE SENATE AND ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT IN DOING SO HE IS SERVING GOD.
I feel the same way about Romney now as I did about an outgoing Obama in 2017. They were and are being replaced by man who is incapable of the kindness and decency they both displayed and what made them great public servants. The number one quality of any great leader or President is empathy. We have some tough times ahead.
ETB quote (1987): The qualities that the Lord demands of those who are to represent us... they must be good, wise, and honest. I think MR tried to be these. Well done.
I almost want to dislike this video because I’m devastated to see him go! As a diehard leftist, I’m more than sure we wouldn’t have seen eye to eye all the time, but he’s the type of politician I think anyone of any party could make SOME measure of positive change with. To have a good measure of moral integrity and backbone! I wouldn’t have the looming thoughts of, “Oh god, what is he scheming now?” like with Trump cause he actually cares about the people! Like McCain, I could’ve slept easier at night with Romney as president rather than someone like Trump. I hope retirement serves him well and I wish him the best. Certainly hasn’t done a bad job serving us.
Voted for Mitt every chance I got. 2012 Primary 2012 General 2018 Primary 2018 Senate Surely, he would’ve been the best President of my lifetime but he refused to cave to populism.
We will miss you in Utah. And the party will miss clear headed and reasoned politicians like yourself. Thank you for your honesty in political and governmental affairs and for showing that honesty is always a needed virtue, especially in places like DC.
Thank you for your integrity the last decent man to run for the republican ticket for president maybe ever again thank you for standing up for what is right
Farewell Mitt 🎉 One of the last true Republicans. They don’t make them like Mitt anymore. I am glad he is leaving so he does not have to watch America crumble and Trump take his voice away.
While I rarely agreed with the policies espoused by Mitt Romney, I always applauded his integrity. We need more people of integrity in government and throughout the world. Thank you, Mr. Romney.
Thank you, Mitt Romney, for your courage, honesty and overall integrity. You placed country, the good of the people, and the rule of law above partisan politics. How so much better our country would be today if you had been elected president years ago. You have served Utah and the people of the USA with utmost honor. Thank you for your great example in word and deed. May God bless you and your family.
Mr Romney you are all that is good about politics regardless of political differences. As LBJ once said when told he couldn’t do something well what’s the point of being the President; sometimes we forget that Senators primary responsibility is to work for the people not for their own self interest. Thank you for your steady hand and hard work for all the people you don’t know
A conservative Republican who is not a narcissistic sociopath, what a concept.
I voted for Romney even though I do not like anything about him. No way I, as a Southsider in Chicago, could vote for Obama!
Did you vote for Romney or Obama?
@@imperialmotoring3789 Ah, so you are part of the reason we are in such a mess now. Are you a MAGAt too?
Romney is one of the most corrupted in this century
@@imperialmotoring3789Dude we honestly dont give a fuck who you voted for 12 goddamn years ago I’m sorry
@@sdilluminatigrandfounder3807he got you 😂😂😂
Hope there will be someone to take your place with the high standards of morals and integrity that you displayed.
I'm 65 years old. During my youth, Republicans like Mitt Romney and Liz Cheney were common. I grieve for the future of our nation.
That's only because your whole entire life you've been brainwashed to mainstream shit
I hope Liz goes to prison.
We used to have the Republican party to put things right after the democrats screwed things up. Those days are long gone. Now we have the fastest party, which is worse. Sad days indeed
I meant.
Fascist party
Romney is fascist

Thank you sir for your words of wisdom 🙏❤️👏
Thank you Senator Romney for being a great Senator and showing courage and a backbone especially during the Trump years. You showed patriotism and integrity when so many other republicans would not.
Thank you, Sir. We love you.
Appreciate your professionalism, your dedication, and your commitment to the constitution.
What an extraordinary president this man could have been...
I love Mitt, and I am a Democrat but would have voted for him for president❤!
Did you vote for Romney or Obama? I voted for Romney.
Thank you for your service to America.
The last real Republican. I’m glad there is at least 1 who isn’t a puppet for Putin.
you are so lost. If you think it's putin who controls our government, you should look into AIPAC and Israel.
Oh yeah yes he's a real Republican just like biden's a real president
he isn't a republican is a RINO
Yes, too bad the puppet to Putin Obama won against Romney.
@@Eliyahu-ow8lmso….a Republican?

Thank you Senator Romney
You are inspirational, Senator Romney. Thank you for your professionalism and for setting such a great example for us all these years.
Huge respect for Romney and not becoming a MAGAt, still favoring Obama over Trump, serving for so long and working for America.
Such a gracious speech. The Senate needs more members like Mitt Romney. No big ego and no mean streak.
Romney destroyed the country
I might not agree with Mitt on everything, but I respect that he stood up for Obama to one of his own supporters.
That was John McCain, although Mitt was also a Class Act (So was McCain)
This is how the GOP should be. Good hearted people, standing up for freedom and humanism.
We will miss you, Senator Romney.
You will be missed, Senator Romney. Thank you for what you did for America.
Farewell and good luck Mitt. I don't actually know much about you, but I do know that you have been a strong supporter of Ukraine. I suspect your absence from congress will be sorely missed by all decent people going into this second Trump term. Best of luck to all of us.
Defund Ukraine

Thank you Senator. A decent man and honorable Public Service. Had you won in 2012, the course that this country is on would have been so very different.
Yes, I voted for Romney over Communist Obama too!
As a leftist, I admire Romney. A respectful map who put the country over everything else. One of the last sane republicans left.
One of the last spineless Republicans, he was an absolute sellout and that's why you loved him
@@Bvb24G He was a statesman who wasn’t afraid to reach across the aisle if that was what was best for the American people. That’s why we admire him.
Did you vote for him? I did. As a Chicago Southsider there is no way I could vote for Obama.

Not Barry you mean.
No to war lover.

Mitt has definitely been one of the good ones and we would have a much better country, if he had won in 2012.
Thank you MIT for being human, observing and a great governor.

LMAO 🤣
😂 best time to get out of this circus. A republican with sound mind.
for him, maybe - but not for congress and our country. Every GOOD Republican that leaves weakens the party.
My actual hero in life. Thank you Mitt for your service.
He could have been a great president, too bad they did the boogie man crazy Mormon thing on him when was running.
Mitt aka Pierre, I'm impressed that you've made more fake accounts to give yourself a positive image
As always , well said Mitt. This Canadian respects you.

Whilst I disagree with you on a long list of issues, when you voted to hear witnesses in trumps first impeachment, you earned my respect
I admire Mitt for his selflessness service of our country

Goodbye Senator Romney! I hope that you will have a nice retirement.
What? Why now? We need your vote.
Best of luck to you Senator Romney for a happy retirement. It appears to me, however, that you made this speech 12 years too late.
And with that, one more vestige of the GOP before it went insane is gone.

Very eloquently spoken
Thank you for your integrity the last decent man to run for the republican ticket for president maybe ever again thank you for standing up for what is right
