Letter: Romney’s personal vendetta against Trump

(James M. Dobson | The Spectrum) This Oct. 9, 2018, file photo shows Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mitt Romney answering a question about tariffs during the debate with Democratic opponent Jenny Wilson in the America First Event Center in Cedar City, Utah. Utah Sen.-elect Romney says President Donald Trump's "conduct over the past two years ... is evidence that the president has not risen to the mantle of the office." Romney, who was the Republican presidential nominee in 2012, is praising some of Trump's policy decisions in a Washington Post op-ed published Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2019. But he adds: "With the nation so divided, resentful and angry, presidential leadership in qualities of character is indispensable. And it is in this province where the incumbent's shortfall has been most glaring."

Hey, Utah! It looks like we elected a rich, sniveling, jealous non-Utahn to the Senate.

Mitt Romney's No. 1 priority is carrying out his personal vendetta against President Trump. If Trump is for it, Romney will be against it.

Steve Williams, Sandy
