‘Easiest Shot You Can Take’: Trumpworld Lines Up to Dunk on ‘Disgusting’ Mitt Romney
On Wednesday, all of Trumpworld united under the banner of a single cause: Stuffing incoming Senator Mitt Romney into a locker.
Over the course of the day, virtually every entity in the national Republican Party apparatus turned its guns on the man who served as their official standard bearer in the 2012 election, with the president, GOP Senators and even Romney’s niece—RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel—faulting the Utah Republican for an oped he’d published the night before in The Washington Post.
As far as blistering denunciations go, Romney’s piece was relatively modest. He declared that the president’s “character falls short” but went on to explain that he wouldn’t comment on every Trump outrage but would “speak out against significant statements or actions that are divisive, racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, dishonest or destructive to democratic institutions.”
