The senator apparently forgot that he blasted the president in 2016 for not making them public
President Donald Trump’s surrogates were out in full force Sunday morning defending his choice to hide his tax returns from the American people. But, of all of the president’s protectors, Sen. Mitt Romney’s scoffing at the efforts put forth by Democrats to force the president’s hand is the most laughable.
Romney, a guest on NBC’s Meet the Press was asked by host Chuck Todd: How problematic it is that the president refuses to show his tax returns and that Trump says he will fight any legal action forcing his hand, even bringing the matter to the Supreme Court, if necessary.Roger Stone Goes After Deceased First Lady in Defense of Trump
The senator first qualified his answer with a standard line that a lot of Republicans are using, saying he wishes the president would release his tax returns. Next he called any “legislative action” by Democrats on the topic “moronic.” Finally, Romney pivoted quickly, while somewhat laughing, to attack Democrats on a variety of unrelated issues.
WATCH: Sen. Mitt Romney says,"I'd like the president to follow through and show his tax returns" but thinks Democrats are playing into his hands. #MTP@SenatorRomney:"Going after his tax returns through a legislative action is moronic. That's not going to happen" pic.twitter.com/Rchlx6kqkiRomney has proven time and time again that he has no shame. When he thought it was advantageous for him to go after Trump in 2016 about this very topic, he held nothing back.
