Senator Romney is one of the few neoconservatives that I have respect for on a political level and you cannot deny that he is a man of integrity and principle. His decision to not run for re-election shows how far some in the GOP have strayed from the principles of republicanism, institutional trust, and reason. And his willingness to buck the party on key issues showed that he had strong political instincts in which he remained apologetic even when the fallout was fierce. I wish that he may continue to be active in politics as he is a sane voice in a time of insanity, although I wish him the best in his retirement.
The Supreme Court issue is why I would’ve opposed his re-election campaigns in ‘40 and ‘44 although with hindsight his refusal to accept Jewish refugees is the most obvious mistake. The Japanese Internment Camps are a runner up.
I think it's in poor taste to pull up a quote from years ago and judge it. I feel it's akin to cancelling someone although I doubt that was OP's intention. But if you're asking how I feel about the quote itself, it's one that I strongly disagree with it.
Christian Man has so many good recent quotes that I couldn't decide on one
