President Trump’s 2020 campaign manager on Tuesday fired back after Sen.-elect Mitt Romney (R-Utah) wrote a searing op-ed criticizing the president's character.
In a tweet, Trump's 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale invoked Romney’s failed 2012 presidential bid, accusing the incoming senator of lacking the ability "to save this nation."
“The truth is @MittRomney lacked the ability to save this nation. @realDonaldTrump has saved it,” Parscale wrote on Twitter. “Jealously is a drink best served warm and Romney just proved it. So sad, I wish everyone had the courage @realDonaldTrump had.”
Parscale’s reaction came shortly after Romney penned a Washington Post op-ed slamming Trump’s character and his time in office.
"With the nation so divided, resentful and angry, presidential leadership in qualities of character is indispensable. And it is in this province where the incumbent’s shortfall has been most glaring," Romney wrote.
Romney, who was the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, spoke out against Trump during the 2016 election.
“It is well known that Donald Trump was not my choice for the Republican presidential nomination,” Romney wrote. “After he became the nominee, I hoped his campaign would refrain from resentment and name-calling. It did not. When he won the election, I hoped he would rise to the occasion.”
After two years in office, Romney wrote that Trump had not “risen to the mantle of the office.”
Romney’s remarks came two days before he will be sworn into Senate on Thursday.
“I do not intend to comment on every tweet or fault,” he wrote. “But I will speak out against significant statements or actions that are divisive, racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, dishonest or destructive to democratic institutions.”
Romney is every bit the snot nosed punk that drove his own demise in 2012. Ryan has a poor mentor. We will have to remember whose ass Ryan kissed when next he runs.
Mitt wit is the last person that should be attacking Trump’s character. He lied and flipped on issues like abortion to get ahead politically. He was vulture capitalist before he entered politics. He blew a winnable election because too many stayed home because they didn’t trust him.
The Democrats circle the wagons when one of them does something wrong but Mittens can’t wait to plunge a dagger into the President’s back!
Mitt only won his primary because he was famous. His opponent won the cacaus and was clearly the better choice.
Someone should tell Romney that Rockefeller is dead—thank God!
What a full on slimebag this Romney is. Just despicable.
ESAD, Romnuts.
I’m sorry I voted for your worthless ass in 2012!
I’d be suspended for posting what I’m thinking about Mitt.
Let’s just say it’s not real warm and fuzzy.
Matter of fact, it’s pretty grisly.
Oooh, someone has his magic underwear in a bunch.
Romney’s new nickname should be PeeWee because he has Pea sized balls and a Pea brain.
Mitt is cancer.
Romey 0 for 2.
The two time loser offers advise to the first time winner.
Just in time for Trump to ignore his sorry advise for the the New Year
I posted that same sentiment throughout the 2012 primary, and was flamed mercilously for it.
I knew that Romney would be little more than Obama Lite, and would put our side back to sleep, but that a second Obama term would cause us to rise.
It was hard to endure another four years of Obama, but look at what we got for our suffering - Donaldus Magnus!
He’s trying but the dogs are rebuffing his advances.
FUMR bump for later...
Mittens, who thrust PRyan on us, is now auditioning to be the second Flake.
“Romney is the new McCain.... Hate that about him. He will become the new RINO spokesman.”
And Romney will seal his own political demise.
Why is it that true loser-politicians refuse to go away?
