“I am also appalled that, among other things, fellow citizens working in a campaign for president welcomed help from Russia,' Romney stated.

Republican Senator Mitt Romney offered a scathing criticism of President Donald Trump and his campaign associates Friday, saying he was “sickened” by their “dishonesty” after reading special counsel Robert Mueller’s redacted report.

The freshman senator and former Massachusetts governor then went on to attack specific Trump campaign members, without naming them. A focal point of Mueller’s investigation was a June 2016 Trump Tower meeting involving the president’s eldest son Donald Trump Jr., the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and a Kremlin-tied lawyer who promised dirt on Trump’s election opponent Hillary Clinton.“It is good news that there was insufficient evidence to charge the President of the United States with having conspired with a foreign adversary or with having obstructed justice,” Romeny started.

Romney was the 2012 Republican presidential candidate and at the time sought the endorsement of Trump, who was pushing the"birther" conspiracy theory. Romney called Russia the greatest geopolitical foe to the United States at the time, and was largely mocked.

Romney is full of ego and pride and thinks he should have won since as a rich boy he was entitled! And to think I voted for u 🤮. Pride and ego is sinful last I checked.

What about the dishonesty of the beginning of the witch hunt and the press, but what do you expect from a swamp rat like mitt

Old Mitt is a two faced liar that has no credibility.

We always respected honorable MittRomney his health care system in Massachusetts have saved so many lives for average Americans

As am I. The Democratic Party needs to come together, develop a meaningful platform, put forth a viable candidate and let the people decide. Do we want lying, cheating and likely theft, or do we want to bring back honor to the US?

SenatorRomney I seem to remember an audio of you once in a room full of donors! What was that you said ? It kinda put the brakes on you run for prez. It was something about a certain % of people!! What was it now? Hmmm! You are still a repugnut!!

After ALL he’s done you needed this to admit your unhappy with him!! 🙄

Words matter but so do actions. Think about that if your ever in a position where your vote counts when it comes to standing up to him and his heinous decisions

Let’s try something simple: Republicans thought and continue to think Trump is their best option?

So Romney, you got voted in because Utah had no one else to vote for. Now you “sicken” your voters!

🤣🤣 “scathing attack” What a ridiculous statement. MittRomney mustered all his strength & still barely even whispered his discontent. Stop trying to make a hero out of every GOP MoC who comes out w/ weak & feeble statements when they are all too cowardly to DO anything.

Romney is a disgruntled, lifetime politician who like many in DC, (left & right) despise Trump because he put an end to the DC Coffee Club & made these freeloaders actually do their jobs and is holding them accountable. Trump shit in their scrambled eggs! MyPresident !!

Mitt who?

American are “sickened” by all politicians Democrats&Republicans unable to Work and produce answers to issues neglected for years. Instead, insisting in 1 clear action the destruction of their political opponents.

It was hardly scathing, senatormitt applauded the fact that he obstructed juafice enough to avoid the constitutional crisis of an obstruction decision.

Scathing? Let’s see if Superman MittRomney will stand up to trump in the senate. His stomach may be turned but you can bet his spine is still missing

'scathing attack'? Are you kidding? He's claiming that the report states that there was 'insufficient evidence” to charge President Trump with conspiracy or obstruction. That's not what the report says AT ALL. Romney is feeding the misinformation machine.

GOP, vote in the primaries. Weld2020

The ghost of Mitt McCain

Yawn!

Really! And what will you do?

Time for Mitt to flip back and shove his head up the Trump rump again in...10...9...8...

If SenatorRomney feels that strongly then he should seriously think about challenging Trump in the Republican primaries in 2020.

Wow. You mean old Mitt is like George Washington? Impeccable?

Good of MittRomney but rather would like to hear it from senatemajldr and SenateGOP. The Mueller report shows real facts about the misconduct and disrespect of a president. Not just a president but the president of the United States of America 🇺🇸. It's no hoax nor witch hunt.

Come off it Mr Mitt, that is what world leaders do !

Trump is hit back 2x if not more and that part of him is so predictable. But does MittRomney really mean it?

After Romney begged for SOS job! Mitt Romney's incompetence gave us four extra years of Obama and opened the door for the economic change we needed from Trump. In some ways he is responsible for Trump being POTUS!

Sickened? Or just jealous he could not ever be President?

SenatorRomney MittRomney Words don’t mean a thing. Take action and show the American people that you will fight for justice and right this wrong. That you will work to have this sickness and dishonesty removed from the WH. Please show us through actions not words.

Banana tabloid.🍌🍌🍌🍌

One day historians will look back and laugh at the public relations style of politics like Romney’s.

'Scathing?' Uh...hardly.

Same.

Everybody is. That’s why we need to get this administration out of office as fast as we can.

Uuu robme is upset

Tweeting is not a scathing anything. Romney is a traitor. Tweets does not a patriot make.

Heading to Minnesota, Donald Trump attacks freshman Democratic Rep. Ilhan OmarIlhan Omar, Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats said Trump's frequent attacks on Omar are anti-Muslim, and also spiking death threats against the freshman congresswoman. Criticizing someone e for the things they say isn’t hate speech. Any attempt to equate the two is simply trying to silence the people criticizing you. She needs to apologize for all the hateful comments and speeches she makes towards the Jewish people. Thank you to President Trump for shining a light on this anti Semite in our own government. It was just a few people who said some things, really not a big deal. Ilhan should stop playing victim
