Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Thursday took aim at former President Trump for pushing Republican lawmakers to oppose a border deal so that he could use the issue to campaign against President Biden in the 2024 presidential election.

Romney told CNN’s Manu Raju he thought it was “really appalling” that Trump would try to prevent progress on addressing the surge in migration at the southern border.

“I think the border is a very important issue for Donald Trump,” Romney said. “And the fact that he would communicate to Republican senators and congresspeople that he doesn’t want us to solve the border problem because he wants to blame Biden for it is really appalling.”

      Are you confusing Romney with almost every other Republican senator? No other Republicans senator that I’m aware of has said that they would vote for Biden over Trump

          Hes a festering pile of shit that has ruined hundreds of thousands of lives with the vulture capital tactics of Bain capitol, but hes also the only senator to ever vote for impeached of someone in his own party in US history.

          That person is the same person hes critical of now. In this matter, and maybe only it, his actions have matched his words.

            If Trump was the only thing wrong with the party, this would be a good point. But he’s not exactly fronting resistance against the rest of the fascist element consuming his party, is he?

            Romney only did it for the clout. He knew there wouldn’t be enough votes for the impeachment.
