What Happened This Week In Washington — And Georgia

Romney says today was about a “selfish man’s injured pride.” He is trashing Trump and, by implication, Cruz and Hawley as “complicit.” When he ran in 2018, Romney implied that he was going to be the new John McCain — conservative but willing to break with the party and very norms-focused. And he has lived up to that. And I think Romney is Trump’s least-favorite GOP senator, just as McCain was.

Mitt Romney just got a big round of applause for saying that the best way to honor voters who are upset that Trump lost and think the election was stolen is to “tell them the truth!”

Romney, a pretty unflappable guy, seems genuinely shaken tonight. He calls what happened an “insurrection, incited by the president of the United States.”
