Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) hit back at President Trump on Tuesday for his recent string of criticism directed at late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
..............................................
Trump and McCain had a rocky relationship, with Trump criticizing the GOP senator during the 2016 presidential election for getting captured during the Vietnam War. He's also repeatedly lashed out at McCain for voting against the GOP health care bill in 2017.

But Trump has doubled down on his frustration with McCain this week despite pushback from lawmakers and McCain's family.
.....................................

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) called Trump's comments "outrageous" and "awful."

"He's a hero. He's passed away," Schumer told a New York radio station..................................

Trump is truly a monster for going on and on about a war hero who has died because of brain cancer.

Because Trump is none of those things, and yet you serve at his beck and call.

If you were serious, instead of just a Twitter bloviator, you’d announce your Republican Primary candidacy tomorrow.

1. All talk and no walk

At least that twit Bill Kristol voted for Hillary
I'll bet when push comes to shove, mitt will vote il douche in 2020

2. Yup. nt

3. Come on, Mittens, grow a pair.

"I can’t understand why the President would, once again, disparage a man as exemplary as my friend John McCain: heroic, courageous, patriotic, honorable, self-effacing, self-sacrificing, empathetic, and driven by duty to family, country, and God"? Everybody else understands why. If you can't figure it out and stand up against Trump, there's no hope for you.

4. so far he's just been snoozing in the senate. still planning winter olympics 4 utah is he? nt

5. Trying to outdo Sen Sleeping Sam I. Hayakawa (R-CA) is he?

[Dave Starsky]

6. Ha! I remember S.I. Hayakawa.

He served as the punchline for many a Johnny Carson joke.

"I heard that Senator Hiyakawa got a personalized license plate. It reads, 'ZZZZZZ.'"

7. Damn! That is a scathing criticism of Trump! That's the way to stand up for your old friend!

Reminds me of Lindsey Graham’s response to Trump. i wonder if it hurt when Trump took their cojones or maybe they didn’t even notice.

[justhanginon]

13. Yep, that is about one step above "tsk, tsk. Romney is

just as gutless as trump himself. The republican party in general is totally subservient to this monster trump and we are paying and will pay a terrible price for it in the future.

[JI7]

9. i don't see any knocking

[JHB]

10. If that's Mitt "hitting back", even Donnie could whup his ass

Oh, wait. He did.

[Timmygoat]

11. And then.....

guess Lindsay Graham is hiding under his desk somewhere, he really turned out to be a cowardly individual.

[mpcamb]

12. You can slide back under that rock now, Mitt.

[louis c]

14. What a tepid response. (NT)

Bullshit. That's not a condemnation. It's a CYA statement.

Utah is the red state that has the highest disapproval of Trump. Mitt has nothing to protect. Show some balls.
