Sen. Mitt Romney says he’s “sickened” by the dishonesty the Russia investigation found in the Trump White House, but the president fires back that Romney should have put the same energy into running for president in 2012 that the Utah Republican has tapped in criticizing him.
Romney also tweeted Friday that in reading the special counsel’s report he was “appalled” Americans working on the Trump campaign had welcomed help from Russia.
On Saturday, Trump responded via Twitter, saying if Romney “spent the same energy fighting Barack Obama as he does fighting Donald Trump, he could have won the race (maybe)!”
In 2012 Romney won a slightly greater percentage of the popular vote than Trump in 2016. He’s one of the few prominent Republicans to criticize Trump since Trump’s election.

I hate to admit that I voted for real R.I.N.O.s twice, in 2009 & 2012.
At least Obama was committed to his senseless liberal believes from beginning till the end.
Romney & McCain were pushed down our throat by Republican establishment and main stream media as our only alternative. Such shameless traitors! Yes, traitors!!!
You don’t hear anyone criticizing Hillary the same way on Democrat side, even though she is the most corrupt person to “get nominated” on their side in resent history!
After the POUS helped him win his seat in the Senate, What an ingrate! Not worthy for anything.
