“Well, I think it’s important for everyone to tell the truth and make it clear that the ‘Big Lie’ is exactly that,” the Utah Republican told a CNN reporter on ‘State of the Union’ when asked if Republicans should speak out against election lies.

“But I also think, frankly, Jake, that here in the States, there’s a growing recognition that this is a bit like WWF. It’s fun, but it’s not real. And I know people want to say, yeah, they believe the ‘Big Lie’ in Some cases, but I think people realize there’s a lot of parade, explosive ideas. But it’s not going anywhere. The election is over. It was fair… Let’s move on.”

World Wrestling Entertainment was known as World Wrestling Federation Entertainment until 2002 when it dropped the letter “F” from its name. During a rally in Ohio on Saturday, Trump attacked Ohio Representative Anthony Gonzalez, one of the 10 Republicans who voted for and impeached him in January, and repeated lies that the 2020 election was stolen from him without evidence. Gonzalez, who has been criticized by Ohio Republican Party leaders and faced calls for his resignation over the impeachment vote, is facing a major challenge from Max Miller, the former Trump administration official and electoral aide who has been endorsed by the former president. Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential candidate, is a frequent critic of Trump and one of the seven Republican senators who voted to convict the 45th president during his second impeachment, and the only Republican senator he found guilty in his first impeachment trial.
