Mitt Romney: Instead of Taking ‘Victory Lap’ on Vaccine, Trump Is Pushing ‘Nutty and Loopy’ Conspiracy Theories

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

TAPPER: “I have to ask you, President Trump held a meeting on Friday in which he reportedly discussed with his disgraced former national security adviser Michael Flynn martial law and force new elections in states that Biden lost and discuss appointing Sidney Powell and issuing an executive order to seize voting machines. This is, needless to say, quite alarming and scary to a lot of people. What will Senate do to make sure this doesn’t happen?”

ROMNEY: “It’s not going to happen. It’s going nowhere. It’s really sad in a lot of respects and embarrassing because the president could, right now, be writing the last chapter of this administration with a victory lap with regards to the vaccine. He pushed aggressively to get the vaccine developed and distribute, that is happening on a quick time frame. He could be championing this story but instead leaving Washington with conspiracy theories and things so nutty and loopy that people are shaking their heads wondering what in the world has gotten into this man? I think that is unfortunate because he has more accomplishments than this last chapter suggests. He is going to be known for.”
