With a shot across the White House lawn, Mitt Romney announced his arrival in the Senate. Amid applause for Romney’s op-ed from the same Beltway press types who spent 2012 painting him as an evil, striped-pants plutocrat and misogynistic cold warrior, there were some tut-tuts daring Romney to bolster his harsh words for President Trump with serious deeds.
It’s obvious what the media really want Romney to do, and that is to vote like a liberal. If you really think Trump isn’t presidential, they imply, you should oppose lower corporate rates, oppose border security, and reject conservative nominees to federal agencies and courts. This is standard disingenuous nonsense from swampy scribblers who just six years ago were accusing Romney of evading taxes and binding women, or something.
