President Trump’s 2020 campaign manager on Tuesday fired back after Sen.-elect Mitt Romney (R-Utah) wrote a searing op-ed criticizing the president's character.
In a tweet, Trump's 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale invoked Romney’s failed 2012 presidential bid, accusing the incoming senator of lacking the ability "to save this nation."
“The truth is @MittRomney lacked the ability to save this nation. @realDonaldTrump has saved it,” Parscale wrote on Twitter. “Jealously is a drink best served warm and Romney just proved it. So sad, I wish everyone had the courage @realDonaldTrump had.”
Parscale’s reaction came shortly after Romney penned a Washington Post op-ed slamming Trump’s character and his time in office.
"With the nation so divided, resentful and angry, presidential leadership in qualities of character is indispensable. And it is in this province where the incumbent’s shortfall has been most glaring," Romney wrote.
Romney, who was the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, spoke out against Trump during the 2016 election.
“It is well known that Donald Trump was not my choice for the Republican presidential nomination,” Romney wrote. “After he became the nominee, I hoped his campaign would refrain from resentment and name-calling. It did not. When he won the election, I hoped he would rise to the occasion.”
After two years in office, Romney wrote that Trump had not “risen to the mantle of the office.”
Romney’s remarks came two days before he will be sworn into Senate on Thursday.
“I do not intend to comment on every tweet or fault,” he wrote. “But I will speak out against significant statements or actions that are divisive, racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, dishonest or destructive to democratic institutions.”
mittens just stepped in it.
Romney is the new McCain.... Hate that about him. He will become the new RINO spokesman.
I remember when Mitt Romney was BEGGING President Trump for the Secretary of State job..sore grapes from a jackass who didnt get the job
His entire being is sauteed in it.
Mittens will be persona non grata from day one with the entire base. He had a chance to redeem his loser reputation, but it is over.
Mitt got bodyslammed! He’s a two bit coward pretending to be a hero.
Cuck him!
The carpetbagger cultist sure does have an immense ego, I will grant him that.
Is Romney still having sex with dogs?
Mitt Roasted. Film at 11.
I regret ever voting for the POS in 2012. Just as well that Obama thrashed him.
Disgusting.
Romney is an ass.
What would Romney know about character?
How to bend over for his losing team?
The Dung Beetle hasn’t even been sworn in yet and already he’s so filled with self-grandeur. Bet he’s in Flake’s old office.
.
Money from Utah has been financing Get Trump Ops.
John Huber is from Utah, too.
Obama Appointee, John Huber.

Mitt wanted to lose in 2012. He phoned it in after his last debate with Obama.
Good thing his comrade in arms Ryno is now gone.
You’d think a man who was targeted and destroyed by the MSM would have some empathy for Trump and yet he joins their team.
Screw the little Cuck and his binders full of women.
I have felt the same way, and often wondered which way we’d have ended up worse off. Seems like a toss-up.
