Mitt Romney questions Trump getting 'cozy' with dictators, direction of GOP [View all]
Deseret NewsSALT LAKE CITY — Sen. Mitt Romney says he doesn’t know where the Republican Party is headed as the president cozies up to dictators, and character doesn’t seem to matter in leaders anymore.
The Utah Republican also said during a Center for Strategic and International Studies webcast Tuesday that the U.S. response to COVID-19 has hurt its role as a world leader.
“I have no idea what’s going to happen with my party. I represent a very small slice of my party. The party has taken a different course. My party was very strong anti-dictators, anti-authoritarian leaders, anti people like Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin, and now the party seems to be more comfortable with people like that,” he said.
Romney talked about the GOP, coronavirus and America’s place on the world stage in response to questions from moderator Nina Easton at the end of an hourlong discussion that focused mostly on the U.S.-China relationship.
