Romney disowns Trump’s 2012 endorsement

After slamming Donald Trump in a speech Thursday morning, Mitt Romney said he would have not wanted Donald Trump’s endorsement in 2012 now that he knows more about him.

“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,” Romney tweeted Thursday afternoon.

At a speech from the University of Utah, the 2012 GOP presidential nominee called the 2016 frontrunner a “phony” and a “fraud,” and called on people not to vote for Trump.

The former Massachusetts governor also called Trump dangerous.

Speaking at a rally in Portland, Maine, Trump said Romney wanted his endorsement so badly that he could have “said, ‘Mitt, drop to your knees.’ He would have dropped to his knees.”
