Sunday on CNNs State of the Union, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) said he did not believe President Donald Trumps actions as laid out in special counsel Robert Muellers report rise to the level of impeachment, but the president does not exhibit the best qualities of human character.
Host Jake Tapper asked if Trump has disgraced the office of the president.
Romney said, I think a number of things were unfortunate and distressing. Clearly the number of times there were items of dishonesty, misleading the American public and media are things you would not be want to see from the highest office in the land.
He continued, Abuse of power is at a whole other level, which suggests impeachment. I think in part one of the things its difficult in order to make a case for obstruction of justice or impeachment, not an underlying crime, I think its difficult to put together an effective case to prosecute for those crimes.
He added, Ive made it clear I will support the president on policies where we agree. Ill disagree with him openly if theres something I think is wrong for the country or for my state. But I think he could substantially improve his game when it comes to helping shape the character of the country. I think young people, as well as people around the world, look at the president of the United States and say, does he exhibit the kind of qualities we would want to emulate? And those are qualities of humility, of honesty, integrity, and those are things where I think theres been some call where the president has distanced himself from some of the best qualities of the human character.

I’m surprised Mutt can even spell those words. His character is the antithesis of them.
That’s a good point. Somebody should ask him if we should have voted for Felonia Von Pantsuit instead? What an idiot.
God, he is such a slimeball.
To my regret I supported McCain but by 2012 I could not support this weak idiot. The one great flaw of the GOP is there isnt enough party discipline to control or boot out disloyal scum like this.
Romney needs to switch parties. He’s as despicable as any Dem scum.
Up yours RAT Romney! Loser.
He is trying to position himself to run for President but he still does not realize President Trump support.
So sayeth the “man” (not really sure about that) who makes a weathervane look like a fixed pointer.
No one gives an Obama about anything this nothing-burger says.
No one.
Carter has to be #1. Off the top of my head, none of the other past US presidents makes the list.
Get cancer Mitt!
At least Trump isn’t a good ol’ boy wuss like someone we know.
Hey Mitt: TRUMP’S President and your not! HAHAHAHAHA
I may waste an envelope, sheet of paper and some ink on Romney. ..for 3 words...gth
All these people, including Romney keep making me think of the saying:
“It is better to stay silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.”
Translation: Trump stands and fights. Cries of (insert your favorite here)ism mean nothing to him because he works for the base, not the elites.
What the hell is this narrative that “Trump is dishonest”...?
“If you like your plan you can keep it.” ahhhh, nooo
“I did not have sex with that woman.” noooooo
Trump must have told a whopper somewhere to beat those beauties, but I must’ve missed it.
Dear Willard: you were a BIG FAT LOSER in 2012.
We are not interested in anything a LOSER like you has to say.
BTW, its extremely obvious that you are very jealous of our GREAT President Trump.
And, yet, it was Romneys lack of honest and integrity that made GOP voters look to straight-shooting Trump.
Talk about projection!!
