Jim Galloway: Mitt Romney is having an important moment. His faith might be, too

Atlanta • Mitt Romney is having an important moment. It’s worth pondering whether his faith is having one, too.

Last week, the two-time Republican presidential candidate and current junior senator from Utah unloaded on President Donald Trump's abrupt removal of the modest buffer of U.S. troops who stood between the Turkish army and our Kurdish friends.

"The decision to abandon the Kurds violates one of our most sacred duties. It strikes at American honor. What we have done to the Kurds will stand as a blood stain in the annals of American history," Romney said in a carefully phrased, nine-minute speech.
