Mitt Romney: Biden has had '52 weeks of bad weeks'

[Washington Examiner] Republican Sen. Mitt Romney did not hold back when criticizing President Joe Biden’s first year in office.

You thought he was a better choice than President Trump, buddy. So they’re your 52 bad weeks. Enjoy your consequences.

When Meet the Press’s Chuck Todd asked the Utah senator what he believes the state of the nation is, Romney said the nation is "severely divided."

"When he was elected, people were not looking for him to transform America," Romney said. "They were looking to get back to normal, to stop the crazy. It seems like we’re continuing to see policy and promotions that are not accepted by the American people."

Romney also pushed back at Democratic strategist and media contributor James Carville, who had appeared on Meet the Press prior to the senator and said he would tell Biden, "Soldier on. You know, you had a bad week, but you had a good year."

"No, no, [Biden’s] had a bad year," Romney said emphatically. "He’s had 52 weeks of bad weeks. People are 7% poorer now because of Biden inflation. Gasoline prices are, what, 50% higher than they were when he took office. The border is a mess. COVID was resurgent. He didn’t have in place the [COVID] tests people needed to keep themselves safe. There was a disaster in Afghanistan. Russia is now threatening Ukraine. Things are not going well."

Remember when they were going well, buddy? It was until the last day of Donald Trump’s presidency. You, the brilliant Mitt Romney — former governor, former business owner, former business consultant, temporary US senator — were the one who decided that even Joe Biden would be better than Donald Trump, so you worked hard to effect that replacement. Swallow that thought until you choke on it... buddy.

#6 FWIW,

Romney has, at least, voted with the republican senate leadership on nearly every important measure in the past year. If he hadn't, the Dems might have BBB and the election fraud act by now.

#7 Romney is trying to keep his 2024 re-election hopes alive. We'll see if a credible primary opponent emerges. If Jason Chaffetz wants it, I bet he could take the seat from Romney.

#8 Too bad this weasel can't apply his Machiavellian instincts to outwitting or wrongfooting Democrats.

Pierre Delecto only screws his fellow GOPpers.
