Utah Senator-Elect Mitt Romney continued to criticize President Trump on Wednesday, telling CNN’s Jake Tapper that the country “is as divided as I’ve ever seen it.” This after writing a scathing op-ed assailing the president’s character.
With his latest comments, Romney, the onetime presidential candidate and ex-governor of Massachusetts, was doubling down on claims he made earlier this week in a piece for The Washington Post. In that op-ed, he said Trump “has not risen to the mantle of the office.”
Romney had more to say about the presidency in his chat with Tapper: “A leader has an impact, not just on policies but also on the character of the people who get to watch the person and I think in that scenario the president needs to focus more attention and hopefully make some changes there."
He continued: “I think it’s very important for a president to demonstrate the qualities of integrity and honesty, forthrightness, empathy and respect for the institutions of our democratic republic.”
Romney went on to say that as far “forming of national character” goes, “we can do a better job.”
“I know what my principles are, what I think is right for the county and I know that right now the country is as divided as I’ve ever seen it.”
Trump responded to the Post op-ed during an earlier cabinet meeting: “I wish Mitt could be more of a team player. I am surprised he did it this quickly. If he fought really hard against President Obama like he does against me, he would’ve won the election.”

Don’t even think you’re going to be a serious contender for president, buddy. You got your ass beat last time by a purple-lipped douchebag that is the biggest failure in the history of politics. Moose-chelle has a better chance than you and there’s no way that slug is running, no-show jobs on corporate boards and being a mobster’s wife are how she rolls.
Mormon jackass
After finally getting rid of Senator-for-Life Hatch. People need to quit voting based on who their church tells them to vote for.
Sounds like the ahole is blaming Trump for the backlash to his stupid, and ill advised op-ed.
I am surprised Milt was able to peel his lips off of Obama’s butt long enough to speak.
I truly despise this “man.” And will do anything in my power to defeat him in his next campaign, whatever it may be.
he has more than 1 wife?
What a jackass.
More and more Americans have noticed the ruling elite have said FU to the middle class. They seem to think we will fall in line with the dependent class. Um... HELL NO!

Romney sounds like that other pompous ass, Comey.
The democrats are responsible for the division in the country, Nit Witt Mitt.
Rom-nuts the chit stain can go to hell, and the same goes for his weirdo sons, Tag, Fag, and whatever the rest of those douches names are.
My wish is that the turtle will relinquish mutt to a senatorial door stop but that is a long wish.
“Romney, answering critics, says country ‘is as divided as ever’ since Trump presidency”
Thanks to corksuckers like you Romney.
How can he say that when Trump took the mantle for the shutdown?
We are because our side decided to stop letting the leftists just roll over us. Sorry Mittens. We will not back down again and thus the country will be divided forever.

Apparently being “divisive” means not giving into the left at every turn.
