Romney backs Trump in shutdown showdown, questions Pelosi
ABC News ^ | 1/18/19 56 Minutes Ago | BRADY McCOMBS

U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah said Friday he supports President Donald Trump's push for a border wall that has led to a government shutdown and questioned why Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi won't agree to "another few miles" of barriers on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Romney also said he plans to keep working with other senators to find interim solutions, such as legislation that would make sure essential government employees still working get paid now.

The 2012 GOP presidential nominee and new Utah senator acknowledged that it "takes two to tango" but backed Trump's position and chided Pelosi for hers. That's noteworthy from Romney, who despite being a Republican like Trump, has frequently criticized the president.

"You (Pelosi) and your fellow Democrats have voted for over 600 miles of border fence in the past, why won't you vote for another few miles now?" said Romney, speaking in the northern Utah city of Ogden after visiting with county commissioners about the shutdown's impact on the community. "I don't understand their position, I really don't."

That’s what I’m thinking. When the RINOs back Trump the dimwits are toast whether they know it or not! (Maybe a few do)

Well, he says he does today. What will he say tomorrow? Willard Romney is like a pack animal, he’s in on the kill until a few of his pack members get harmed and then he shifts his loyalties hoping he himself doesn’t get hurt. Mmmm, clearly a typical DC POS politician.

He learned his political skills in Michigan, where we alternate the parking during the winter months based on odd and even days.

Mitt has gotten a lot of "feedback" about how we fell about him - I sent him several Tweets myself...

PS - anyone else bought a brick for President Trump to send to Crazy-Eyes-Pelousy? Did mine this morning.
