This speaks volumes.
Mitt Romney is already positioning himself to be the GOP’s new Jeff Flake. He launched an unprovoked attack on President Trump in the form of smarmy op-ed for the Washington Post. GOP chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, who happens to be Mitt Romney’s niece, blasted him on Twitter.
POTUS is attacked and obstructed by the MSM media and Democrats 24/7. For an incoming Republican freshman senator to attack @realdonaldtrump as their first act feeds into what the Democrats and media want and is disappointing and unproductive. https://t.co/ArhI7Bi7bo

She’s absolutely right. Why would an incoming Republican freshman senator step into the job with that attitude? It’s like he’s trying to establish himself as the the GOP’s Jiminy Cricket, even though NOBODY WANTS THAT.
He’s only going to get worse. I can feel it. I mean, he granted his first big interview of the year to CNN.
Today at 4 p.m. ET on @TheLeadCNN with @JakeTapper: Sen.-elect Mitt Romney’s first live interview since his op-ed in which he says President Trump’s behavior since taking office “is evidence that the President has not risen to the mantle of the office.” https://t.co/py5pGWeJQG pic.twitter.com/bIy3tL2ODx

What kind of message does that send?
CNN announces Mitt Romney will give first post op-ed TV interview today on CNN.

Of course. He is now the darling of the people who destroyed his Presidential run.

He’s a first-class butt kisser. There’s no other way to put it.
How fascinating. A joint venture of an anti Trump REP who failed elections & a propaganda outlet.

It says everything that Romney is running straight to the #FakeNews opponents of @realDonaldTrump . If he wanted to offer a conservative critique he could have easily written in @NRO or gone on Laura Ingraham. Instead he’s headed to fraternize with the enemies of the people. https://t.co/mGRgFmenQl

Blah, blah, blah. What’s he going to do about it? Jeff Flake, 2.0.
