'Suck Up' Mitt Romney Is Called Out For Flip-Flopping On Trump's Endorsement
Mitt Romney thanked President Donald Trump on Monday night for the ringing endorsement in the Utah Senate seat race.
Yet as many on social media pointed out, Romney also said this about Trump just two years ago:
If Trump had said 4 years ago the things he says today about the KKK, Muslims, Mexicans, disabled, I would NOT have accepted his endorsement

Now, Romney’s being called out for the flip-flop:
Mitt Romney: The president is a fraud, a phony.

It almost feels quaint to have a “Mitt Romney Flip Flopped SO MUCH” story. It’s like watching a live action remake of a Disney classic.

Romney , there’s a stand up guy . How many times has he bashed trump only to suck up to him in the next instant?

I think Mitt Romney's campaign slogan, "Nothing I Ever Did, Said, Or Believed Matters," is very on-brand.

Jon Huntsman said Mitt Romney changes positions like "a well lubricated weather vane" and he was so right.

Mitt Romney just stood for his big trumpet solo and all that came out was a wet fart sound.

This is a reminder that Mitt Romney is still a self-interest-first Republican. He’ll suck up to Trump with the best of them whenever it’s in his interest. https://t.co/CIfKmYMIKh

Man I am just shocked and blindsided by Mitt Romney’s calculating flip flop https://t.co/DdmfI1qH9b

I’m old enough to remember when Mitt Romney thought Trump was too racist to accept his endorsement. https://t.co/uA43IYyTBj

I can’t believe there were people who expected anything different of Mitt Romney

Very shocked that Mitt Romney made a flipflop. He's so known for his consistent viewpoints.

Mitt Romney's inability to not flip-flop makes me wonder if there isn't a gene.
