Romney on Trump election tactics: 'Difficult to imagine a worse, more undemocratic action'
Source: The Hill
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) directly criticized President Trump on Thursday night for efforts by the president and his allies to reverse the results of the presidential election.
Romney, in a statement that marks the strongest pushback by a Senate Republican, said the president had "failed to make even a plausible case of widespread fraud or conspiracy" in a myriad of challenges the president's legal team launched in several battleground states where he trailed President-elect Joe Biden.
"The president has now resorted to overt pressure on state and local officials to subvert the will of the people and overturn the election. It is difficult to imagine a worse, more undemocratic action by a sitting American president," Romney said in a statement posted to Twitter.
Romney's statement comes after Trump invited some of Michigan's top Republicans to the White House in a sign he may be seeking a way around the election results where Biden is projected to get 306 electoral votes to Trump's 232.
