President Trump has yet to publicly react to the announcement that Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) will vote to convict him for abuse of power, but his eldest son has already weighed in.Romney knew a storm would come once he made it known he was joining Democrats on one impeachment article, and Donald Trump Jr. delivered. Trump suggested Romney’s choice didn’t come about because of his duty as a senator, but because he’s still “bitter” that his past bids for the Oval Office failed. Romney’s most recent actions, he said, signal that it’s time he gets sent packing from the Republican Party, which the senator has been a part of for quite a long time.> Mitt Romney is forever bitter that he will never be POTUS. He was too weak to beat the Democrats then so he’s joining them now. > > He’s now officially a member of the resistance & should be expelled from the @GOP.> > — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) February 5, 2020It wasn’t just the Trump family that was disappointed with Romney, though. His own niece, GOP Chair Ronna McDaniel, made it clear she’s not siding with her uncle on this issue and assured everyone the party stands with the president. > This is not the first time I have disagreed with Mitt, and I imagine it will not be the last. > > The bottom line is President Trump did nothing wrong, and the Republican Party is more united than ever behind him.> > I, along with the @GOP, stand with President Trump.> > — Ronna McDaniel (@GOPChairwoman) February 5, 2020More stories from theweek.com Trump just won the Iowa Democratic caucuses Should financial markets be freaked out by coronavirus?
