Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, took a series of shots at President Trump in an interview that aired Sunday, saying that some of the president's rhetoric appealed to racism and claiming that under his leadership, the U.S. was abandoning allied Kurdish fighters in Syria. Trump and Romney have feuded with regularity in recent years, with Trump regularly referencing Romney’s 2012 defeat against incumbent President Barack Obama. A few weeks back, Trump branded Romney a "pompous 'a--'" who "choked" in his own run for the White House. "Somebody please wake up Mitt Romney," the president tweeted. Romney, a former Massachusetts governor, has become one of the loudest voices on the right to condemn Trump openly.
