Senator Mitt Romney took part in a Black Lives Matter march to the White House this past weekend, drawing ridicule from President Trump.
Romney, the Senator from Utah, was filmed marching with protesters while explaining that he was walking “to make sure that people understand that Black Lives Matter.”
“We need a voice against racism … we need many voices against racism and against brutality,” he said. “And we need to stand up and say black lives matter.”
The President wasn’t too keen on Romney making a march to the White House with a fringe group that blames him for racism in America.
What a Guy
Trump hammered Romney on Twitter with a sarcastic rant that seemed to suggest the senator’s siding with Black Lives Matter was more about politics and less about a sincere concern.
“Tremendous sincerity, what a guy,” the President wrote. “Hard to believe, with this kind of political talent, his numbers would ‘tank’ so badly in Utah!”
A Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll back in February showed Utahans gave Trump a higher approval rating than their own senator.
The same poll in May had Romney’s approval rating amongst Republicans well behind that of Democrats, a political party he sides with more often than not.
Tremendous sincerity, what a guy. Hard to believe, with this kind of political talent, his numbers would “tank” so badly in Utah! https://t.co/KqHsHmSRKo
