Sen. Mitt Romney has unequivocally ruled out supporting 45th President Donald Trump’s third bid for the White House, even if the former president secures the Republican Party’s nomination.
The establishment U.S. Senator from Utah, who once sought Trump’s support in his failed bid failed to oust 44th President Barack Obama from the White House in 2012, made the remarks during a climate change event in Washington, D.C.
“Absolutely not,” Romney said, according to The Washington Examiner. He then touted his impeachment record, telling attendees, “Look, I voted to remove him from office twice.”
Claiming that “he loses,” Romney added that Trump is “not a person who ought to have the reigns of the government of the United States.”
Despite his refusal to support Trump – potentially abandoning the Republican Party’s presidential ticket come November of 2024 – Romney acknowledged the low odds that another candidate could win against him, the outlet noted.
Watch the clip on Spreely.video:
Trump continues to dominate most polls of Republican primary voters, though one poll taken immediately after the party’s mediocre midterm performance showed Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis beating Trump.
Virtually all polls taken since Trump formally announced his candidacy, however, have showed the 76-year-old ahead by overwhelming margins.
Though Romney has positioned himself as a staunch public enemy of Trump, he nevertheless keeps company with many of Trump’s supposed allies.
In September, I reported that Romney was part of a group of senators – led by Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham – who sought to reverse the former president’s promise to pardon the January 6 prisoners if reelected in 2024.
January 6 “was an attack on the temple of Democracy,” declared Romney, before asserting that the January 6 defendants “should be prosecuted according to the law, and certainly not pardoned.”
Romney characterized Trump’s promise as “a grossly inappropriate comment to make.”
No surprise here.
1) Romney wasn’t at the 2016 Republican Convention because he’s a sucker & a loser.
2) Romney became the first Senator to vote to convict a President of his own party, during impeachment farce # one.
3) Romney voted to convict President Trump during impeachment farce # two.
4) Romney during the 2012 Presidential campaign ‘threw’ the election to the Mulatto Messiah.(Mitt does what he’s told when the deep state calls)
5) Romney is a duplicitous asshole that has the loyalty of Judas.
6) A dead possum on the road has a more viable political future than Romney does moving forward.
7) Why don’t the democrats ever have traitors like Romney during their scandals?
I totally agree
Myth Romney....isn’t he that carpet/dirt/teabagger Masshole?
Some people blow their minds by taking crack . . . Mittens blew his by hanging out with this angel named Moron . . . eee.
cuz he’s complicit in the Ukrainian Money Laundering shenanigans, for one thing.
he’s also In Bed with Monsanto
Pierre Delecti is a product of the deepest, most putrid slime of the swampiest RINOs and poseurs that the GOPe ever produced. He needs to slink off the stage along with the Cheneys and the Bush-McNoName sector of the GOPe.
Just remember that the Romneys have a big conection to the Ukraine.
He may be irrelevant but if his niece stays at the head of the RNC she can cause way more damage than Romney. I’d hope that Freepers are notifying their state RNC reps to vote Ronna McDaniel out.
Romney and Schumer rule out supporting Trump. Anyone surprised by either one?
NEVER trusted that person.
Mitt is shit.
The same pair.
At the same time.
Thankfully
That would look bad for Trump to be endorsed by a traitor
Ha ha ha Qtard gibberish ha ha.
Better get some Autistical kids to decode that mess for us.
Mitt lost his marbles when obama beat him in a fraudulent election. At least he hasn’t claimed to be brainwashed by the ultra MAGA. That would imply that his mental illness is hereditary.
This foolishness of “they are really Democrats in disguise” has to stop.
The imaginary GOP these people keep talking about does not exist, The REAL GOP, unfortunately, does exist.
Mittens didn’t support Trump in 2016 or 2020.... So what’s new?
Scumney broke with the GOP long ago.
What is this “Romney” thing of which you speak?
To correct tag.
