Romney Says He’d ‘Have Immediately Pardoned’ Trump If He Were Biden
Mitt Romney, the only GOP senator to vote to convict Donald Trump in both his impeachment trials, told MSNBC on Wednesday that he “would have immediately pardoned” the 2024 hopeful if he were President Joe Biden.
Reflecting on his final year in office during an interview with MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle, which will air on Wednesday evening, the Utah senator lamented the increasing polarization of politics across the country and how his GOP colleagues should approach the upcoming election.
Regarding the dozens of criminal charges that Trump faces, both on the state level and federally, Romney criticized his fellow Republicans for rushing to Trump’s hush money trial in New York to defend the ex-president and attacking the legal system in the process. Yet, while saying it’s “demeaning” for wannabe vice-presidential candidates to wear Trump’s trademarked red tie ensemble outside the courthouse, he also told Ruhle that Biden “should have fought like crazy to keep this prosection” from proceeding.
