Not ‘a great moment in American leadership:’ Romney criticizes government response to coronavirus
Washington Post via msn ^ | 4/29/2020 | Colby Itkowitz

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) offered a critical assessment of the federal government’s readiness for the novel coronavirus, describing it as not a “great moment in American leadership.”

Romney mostly kept his criticisms broad, avoiding attacking President Trump directly, though he took a few swipes at the president’s management style during an event with Georgetown University students via video chat on Tuesday night.

The speed of our response looked slow compared to other people. That first phase will not stand out as a great moment in American leadership,” Romney said, referring to the onset of the coronavirus outbreak, adding, “We didn’t look real strong, and that’s kind of an understatement.”

What a Great statesman Romney is. If only he had beat Obama in 2012 everything would be different.

I can’t hate someone so demonstrably without any character or moral direction.

He is as a sick puppy as some male/female who becomes a female/male.

With so many Americans having become such wusses what does he expect?

This is just like how we, a nation of credit abusers, also not coincidentally have a government that abuses credit.

He truly is an attention whore. Knowing what we know now, I would have voted for Obama in 2012 - holding my nose to be sure.

Keep it up, Mitt-zi boy. From your recent comments you’re quickly becoming the GOP’s version of Biden.

Anyone who knows anything about mormons and their “preparedness” also knows they think they’re the most prepared people in the galaxy.

This is just Bishop Mitt scolding us folks that follow the “Whore of Babylon” religions.

Did he say what he would have done?

What he’s doing is unproductive. Similar to his loser presidential campaign.

There must be something weird in his hair mousse that short-circuits his thought process.

While Trump was addressing the virus and trying to save America Mitt Romney was helping traitors in an attempt to remove him from office over nonsense.
Case closed.

Dude, you’re a United States Senator. You are the “leadership” and you’re bragging about sucking.

Pierre Dilecto epitomizes “not a great moment in American leadership”. The wealthy oaf continues to reach new depths daily.
