Republican senator knocks Romney: The last thing GOP needs is "a Jeff Flake on steroids" https://t.co/T6M5b2qmP3 pic.twitter.com/11rEinFLAE— The Hill (@thehill) January 5, 2019
Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) needled fellow Republican Sen. Mitt Romney (Utah) in an op-ed in The Washington Post on Friday, arguing that the GOP doesn't need "more distractions."
"The mainstream media and Democrats want to further divide Republicans, and now Romney has played right into their hands," Perdue wrote.
"Jeff Flake (Ariz.) filled that role before his retirement; the last thing we need now in the Senate is a Jeff Flake on steroids. We certainly dont need more distractions. We need constructive leaders who want to get things done."

"Like others who have run for president and failed, Romney has taken a stance that smacks of jealousy and resentment. It does nothing but serve the radical liberal left and further divides conservatives," he argued.
Perdue closed the op-ed by asking Romney to fall in line with the rest of the party.
"We are on track to change the nations direction for the better," he wrote. "We are on track to restore economic opportunity, fiscal responsibility, limited government and individual liberty. I hope Romney, who plans to caucus with Republicans, will reconsider continuing his harmful behavior as he begins his Senate care
God Bless David Perdue. Surprised the WaPo printed it.
All of a sudden I have a bro crush on Sen. David Perdue.

I’m so cynical as to believe Romney will never change and is beholden first to wifey Ann and then his globalist pals, before he is allowed to get up and even lace into his magic shorts.
