Something drastic has happened to Robert Romano in the last two weeks. He may have been kidnapped and/or brainwashed. I was never a fan to begin with, but I read his opinions to be better informed about what the “other half” thinks.
His columns in the last two issues of the Bulletin have been markedly different, and not in a good way. On July 16 he advocated the use of violence against Democrats, whom he accused of using violence themselves to promote an “insurrection.” He referenced debunked conspiracy theories, claiming the Democrats had “pallets of bricks” during the demonstrations in Los Angeles.
He also claimed the Democrats were trying to overturn the 2024 election. Huh? I must have missed that news, or was it only on Fox?
I am opposed to Romano’s column being run in the Bulletin as a weekly conservative opinion anyway, because the ideas he proposes have become less about “limited government” and more about blind support of Trump.
This latest column, however, has gone beyond the bounds of acceptable public opinion. To advocate violence is not a point of view that the Bulletin should amplify. I wish you could find some Republican voices in Bandera or Kerrville to express thoughtful and nonviolent solutions to the many problems our nation is facing. Please don’t run columns from either side that endorse violence.
