SALT LAKE CITY — Sen. Mitt Romney took issue with President Donald Trump defending his relationship with the Saudi Arabian leader who allegedly ordered the hit on a Washington Post columnist.
Trump said he was "extremely angry and very unhappy" about the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi but claimed "nobody has directly pointed a finger" at Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, despite U.S. intelligence and a United Nations report saying otherwise.
Trump had breakfast with the crown prince in Osaka, Japan, over the weekend, but did not press him on his involvement in Khashoggi's murder.
"The President’s praise for MBS, the man who US intel says ordered or authorized the heinous murder of a WaPo columnist & Saudi dissident, sends the wrong message to the world," Romney tweeted Sunday.
Romney, R-Utah, also repeated his call for sanctions against Saudi Arabia.
"It’s past time for Congress & the administration to impose sanctions for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi," he said.

Romney seems to criticize Trump more than some Democrats do. What’s up with that?
Nobody cares, Mitt.
Nobody asks WHY was Khashoggi was killed.
Journalist?
Mitt has nothing else to offer. He is one who can only try to make himself look better by trying to make others look bad. Good thing he made a lot of money so he has something to enjoy and hold on to.
What a pitiful person.
Cuz he’s a jerk.
UGH just go away Mitt.
Khashoggi was a Muslim Brotherhood terrorist, not a journalist. Is Romney to stupid to know this, or is he so hateful that he doesn’t care?
Don’t you have a dog to put on a roof, Mitt?
Does Mittens do anything other than whine about Trump every day? It doesn’t seem like it. Whining endlessly about Trump is obviously his top priority - not representing the voters of Utah.
At this point, if Romney disagreed or agreed with anything - I’d still think of him as a pompous self-serving narcisstic turd.
Mitt....do your job and concern yourself with your so called state.
Another neverTrump looser.
Rumor has it Mitt had a hair out of place yesterday.
He’s a hateful, stupid person.....
He seems to go out of his way to find things to bitch about. He apparently has made trashing Trump his life’s mission. Maybe he thinks winning a couldn’t-lose Senate seat in Utah gives him more clout. What is he doing for his constituents?
Why the hell isn’t Romney complaining about antifa beating up an American journalist?
Khashoggi’s dead.
Khashoggi’s dead.
Khashoggi’s dead.
It’s over for Khashoggi’s - when will Romney (and liberals) stop beating a dead horse?
jealous Bishop RomneyCARE has misstated
what the Elected President said,
and then — as usual — reacted to his own distortion.
Does RomneyCARE doth protest too much defending
abusers/rapists/murderers of children?
Yes, because Mitt wouldn’t kiss his behind if he were POTUS. Thank God that that didn’t happen.
