The president said he’s still holding a grudge against Mitt Romney, the only GOP senator to be left off a congressional task force on reopening the U.S. economy
President Donald Trump on Sunday admitted he’s still holding a grudge against Mitt Romney, the only GOP senator to be left off a congressional task force on reopening the U.S. economy during the coronavirus pandemic.
In February, Romney broke ranks with his party, voting to impeach the president on a charge of abusing his power. Since then, Trump has called the Utah senator and former Massachusetts governor a “failed presidential candidate” — Romney was the Republican nominee in 2012 — and “one of the dumbest and worst candidates in the history of Republican politics.”The White House on Thursday released a list of lawmakers tapped for the “Opening Up America Again Congressional Group.
“Well, I just don’t think — you know, I’m not a fan of Mitt Romney. I don’t really want his advice,” Trump said.
