Trump calls Romney a 'LOSER' following sharp criticism for firing inspectors general

Following sharp criticism by Sen. Mitt Romney over firing inspectors general, President Trump on Monday attacked the Utah Republican as a “LOSER” and shared a video montage of contrasting news coverage of their respective presidential election nights.

Romney apparently drew Trump’s ire for speaking out in the wake of Trump’s Friday night firing of the State Department’s inspector general, who had played a minor role in the president’s impeachment proceedings and was said to have begun investigating alleged misconduct by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Trump’s firing of Steve A. Linick was his fourth dismissal of an internal government watchdog during the coronavirus pandemic. It drew swift condemnations from Democrats as well as Romney, the only GOP senator to vote for Trump’s conviction in his impeachment trial.

“The firings of multiple Inspectors General is unprecedented; doing so without good cause chills the independence essential to their purpose,” Romney said in a Saturday night tweet. “It is a threat to accountable democracy and a fissure in the constitutional balance of power.”

Romney has many faults and deserves criticism for each, but in this case Trump's open display of contempt for him, combined with blasphemy and other things that grate on Utah Mormon voters, makes it easier and easier for them to vote for Biden come November, even if they only cross party lines for the presidential vote.
