The senator-elect wouldn’t say why he didn’t have a problem when Trump was falsely accusing Barack Obama of being born in Africa.
Sen.-elect Mitt Romney (R-Utah) may have criticized Donald Trump in a Washington Post op-ed, but he apparently didn’t have a problem accepting the president’s endorsement during last year’s Senate race.
During a CNN interview on Wednesday, Jake Tapper pressed the onetime Republican presidential candidate on whether that was a mistake.
Tapper pointed to a Twitter message from 2016 ― two years before Romney accepted the president’s endorsement in 2018 ― in which Romney seemed to reject the idea wholesale. Romney claimed in the tweet that he wouldn’t have accepted Trump’s endorsement in the 2012 presidential race if Trump had made the same sort of inappropriate comments about the Klan, Muslims and people with disabilities he became known for later, according to Raw Story.
“Now, some people point out, OK, he hadn’t said those things, but he was the nation’s leading birther, pushing the lie that Barack Obama, the first African-American president, was born in Africa,” Tapper said. “Again, a lie. And you accepted his endorsement even though that was his political claim to fame.”
Then Tapper asked Romney point-blank: “Was that a mistake?”
The senator-elect tried to slip out of that potentially awkward question by saying, “You know, I’m sure I’ve made a lot of mistakes.”

It was certainly a mistake for Trump to endorse Swamp Creatures like Romney and McCain.
he was the nation’s leading birther, pushing the lie that Barack Obama, the first African-American president, was born in Africa,” Tapper said.

“Birtherism” is the greatest Alinsky ever perpetrated. Those who use the term assist in the denigration of the Constitution
They have gotten the American people to reject one of the most valuable safeguards bequeathed to us by the founders.
The natural born citizen clause served us well until we allowed it to be ignored.
Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.
It does not matter if he was born in Hawaii if his father was a foreign national.
Children of foreign nationals inherit the nationality of their foreign national parent(s).
Natural born citizen means born here of citizen parents.
People born with divided loyalties, allegiance and citizenship are not naturally Americans.
The children of foreign nationals are precisely who the founders were excluding from the office.
Only when one cannot be anything else can one be a natural born citizen.
No foreign birth.
No foreign parent(s)
No foreign citizenship(s)
No foreign influence on the Presidency is what John Jay stated in a letter to George Washington as the reason for insisting on a natural born citizen.
Obama told us he was born a British subject.
Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?
Who believes they would have thought the recently deceased King of Thailand was eligible to be President?
He was born in Cambridge MA.
Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.
The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain that was used by the Democrats as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley, George P. Bush and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.
The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because both parties cooperated in the violation of the Constitution
Mittens crawls around on his stomach like the back-stabbing snake he is. Is he related to Harry Reid, by any chance?? The people of Utah sent We The People another Flake Deep State scumbag.
The only way to get these Deep State snakes out is to expose their past. In Mittens case, they already knew what he was. Bad choice, IMO.
Nitwit A** meet Nitwit A**
tapper meet romney
She (HiLIARy, The wicked Witch of the East) was the nation’s leading birther, pushing the TRUTH that Barack Obama, the first Halfrican-American president, was born in Africa.
There, fixed it.
“The people of Utah sent We The People another Flake Deep State scumbag.”
Kinda like the people of NYC keep sending us Chuck Schumer, and the people of SF keep sending us Nancy, etc. Each of these people “is one of us” to some ethnic, religious, or political group. Voters are lemmings!
If he had been born in the Lincoln bedroom he would still have been born a British subject and Kenyan national.
What with multiple wives and likely sexual shenanigans going on through the history of their “religion”, it’s possible they’re all related, in one form or another.
Kenya to be exact.
Oh how “Brave” of Mittens..he says it now since he already won..because of Trump’s endorsement the jackass won, boy that douche bag loves hearing the sound of his own voice. He runs to the commie media, the same commie media who trashed him for putting a dog on the roof of his car, the same commie media who trashed him for the “Binders full of women” comment..how soon that a-hole forgets

Romney is certainly religiously related to Reid. However, and this thought just occurred to me, Reid is a convert to the Mormon cult, whereas Romney is a hereditary prince of the ahem “church”, the elite of the elite. I wondered today, for the first time ever, if the beating Reid endured, that blinded him in one eye and then led him to the decision to retire, was administered to him by Mormon Mafia “enforcers” on the orders of Romney for what he said about Romney’s taxes, etc. Historically, Mormons have not been adverse to blackening an eye or two (or worse) where they thought it would do some good.
Trump asked for a birth certificate.
Obama produced a JPEG that was a forgery of a birth certificate.
Obama is NOT a natural born citizen even if he was born in the Capitol.
Better question from Jack to Anderson,do regret asking your male co-host on New Years Eve if he will kiss you live on TV.
Hmmm, hadn’t considered that.
Makes more sense than his exercise machine attacking him.
I am curious to see how the media treats Kamala Harris who has BOTH parents born out of the United States.
The Ministry of Propaganda won’t breathe a word about it.
BO waited 2 years. If he was legitimate why didn’t he show it on day one. No other president would have that problem.
