Mitt Romney denies ever leading ‘Never Trump’ movement

Published



Mitt Romney, the 2012 Republican presidential nominee, denies ever playing a principal role in the wing of the GOP that rejected President Trump as its leader.

“Oh, I don’t think that was the case,” Romney told reporters Friday when asked what happened to the “Never Trump” movement after a campaign event for Rep. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., in Gilbert, Ariz. “President Trump was not the person I wanted to become the nominee of our party, but he’s president now. The policies he’s promoted have been pretty effective, and I support a lot of those policies. When there’s a place where I disagree, I point that out.”
