GOP Senators Distance Themselves From Mitt Romney
by the OAN Newsroom
Senate Foreign Relations Committee member Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, questions witness James Jeffrey special representative for Syria Engagement and special envoy to the Global Coalition to Defeat Islamic State during a committee hearing on assessing the impact of Turkey’s offensive in northeast Syria, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2019.
Senator Mitt Romney has been open in his opposition to the Trump administration, but other GOP senators are reportedly growing frustrated with his antics.
A Thursday report from The Hill showed growing disapproval among Republicans senators over Romney’s jabs at the president. GOP members were particularly exasperated by his refusal to stand up for President Trump, especially when Democrats called for impeachment.
“As to whether the president should be removed or impeached,…I’m really not going to weigh in at this stage,” stated Sen. Romney. “I’d have to look at the evidence as it’s presented.”
This follows the discovery of the senator’s alternate Twitter account, which was uncovered last week. The account is registered under a fake name and was reportedly used to criticize President Trump anonymously.
Romney’s comments have contradicted the opinions of other GOP members like Senator Lindsey Graham and Representative Will Hurd, who came out in defense of the president amid impeachment talks.
“This phone call is not an impeachable offense,” stated Sen. Graham. “If it becomes an impeachable offense, God help the next president and the ones beyond.”
President Trump has responded to Romney’s attacks by questioning whether the senator was still grieving two failed presidential runs. The president remarked that if Romney went after former President Barack Obama the same way, he may have won the election in 2012. He went on to say the Democrat Party is lucky they don’t have a lawmaker like Romney.
“I think they’re lousy politicians, but…they are vicious and they stick together,” stated the president. “They don’t have Mitt Romney in their midst — they don’t have people like that.”
Sen. Romney seems determined to continue the feud, but President Trump is saying he remains solely focused on uniting the Republican Party ahead of 2020.
