Sen.
Mitt Romney (R-Utah) urged his party to move on from
Donald Trump hours after a
civil jury found the former president liable for sexual abuse and defamation.
āI hope the jury of the American people reach the same conclusion about Donald Trump,ā Romney told CNN. āHe just is not suited to be president of the United States and to be the person who we hold up to our children and the world as the leader of the free world.ā
āAt some point when the people who work with you, your cabinet secretaries, and juries conclude that youāve done something severely wrong, itās time for us to recognize that the great majority of those whoāve worked with him are right and heās wrong,ā he added.
In 2016, Romney
delivered a speech warning the party to turn away from Trump, whom he called a āphonyā and a āfraud.ā āHeās playing the American public for suckers,ā he said.
