Romney Calls on Politicians to ‘Tone It Down’

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) called on political leaders to tone down hateful rhetoric ahead of the election, arguing that the “rabid attacks kindle the conspiracy mongers and the haters” to take “dangerous action.”

Said Romney: “Leaders must tone it down. I’m troubled by our politics, as it has moved away from spirited debate to a vile, vituperative, hate-filled morass that is unbecoming of any free nation — let alone the birthplace of modern democracy.”
