Mitt Romney Blasted After Saying He Would've Pardoned Trump

Retiring Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) didn’t exactly get a vote of confidence on social media after he suggested President Joe Biden should have pardoned Donald Trump.

Romney, who was the Republican presidential nominee in 2012, told MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle on Monday that if he had been president, he would’ve pardoned Trump after a federal grand jury indicted him in connection with attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

“You may disagree with this, but had I been President Biden, when the Justice Department brought on indictments, I would have immediately pardoned him,” Romney said. “Why? Well, because it makes me, President Biden, the big guy and the person I pardoned a little guy.”
