Sen.-elect Mitt Romney(R-Utah) (R-Utah) on Wednesday condemned President Trump's and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's latest comments about journalist Jamal Khashoggi's killing, calling them "inconsistent" with the U.S. national interest.
"The President's and Secretary of State's Khashoggi statements to date are inconsistent with an enduring foreign policy, with our national interest, with basic human rights, and with American greatness," Romney said in a statement.
"Sanctions do not necessarily require ending the alliance; they do demand real and painful consequence," he added.

I really have not follow this as closely as I should but I am certain of one thing. There is a zero percent chance that Myth got some right that President Trump got wrong.

From the article:
The President's and Secretary of State's...statements...are inconsistent with...American greatness. What a sad, offensive, self-serving and unnecessary public statement.

I am sure that Trump knows much more about the situation than Romney.

The jerk is not even in office yet and he is already a pain in the ass. Romney misses the limelight or maybe his underwear needs washing.

And just how would giving up the Saudi Contracts punish their kingdom? They’ll just buy what they want from Russia or China.
Easy to see why Trump is POTUS and not Romney.
Romney has POTUS envy.

The Saudis are our enemy. They are the world’s foremost sponsor of Islamic terror & are engaged in crimes against humanity in Yemen.
Trump has drank the NeoCon koolaid on this & it’s going to cost him and us, unfortunately.

Why doesn’t this idiot shut up. He’s not even sworn in and he’s attempting a hit on our President. No one will ever love the pathetic Mittens like we love our President! Nothing about this coiffed RINO is great or memorable. He has been placed in the Senate to lead the Never-Trump GOP. His job is to do as much damage and cause as much trouble for Trump from within the congress. I hope the President mops the floor with his face every time he opens his mitten mouth.

“Hopefully this will give Mitch McConnel some ideas when he decides which committee this dickhead should be on.”
Chicom McScrotum agrees with that d!ckhead mitt romney. Cuz he’s a rino neverTrumper d!ckhead himself.
Like our elections, the republican party is a complete joke.

He wants to be the new McCain. I don’t think he will get the following of Saint John except for in the media.
