Mitt Romney never knew how to win. He is a pompous “ass” who has been fighting me from the beginning, except when he begged me for my endorsement for his Senate run (I gave it to him), and when he begged me to be Secretary of State (I didn’t give it to him). He is so bad for R’s!

In another tweet, the President called Romney a “fool” and suggested that Utah voters are now thinking that made a “big mistake” when they elected the lawmaker.
I’m hearing that the Great People of Utah are considering their vote for their Pompous Senator, Mitt Romney, to be a big mistake. I agree! He is a fool who is playing right into the hands of the Do Nothing Democrats! #IMPEACHMITTROMNEY

Romney was not the only Republican lawmaker who criticized the President for requesting foreign governments investigate his political opponent. Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska, said,”Americans don’t look to Chinese commies for the truth” while Rep. Will Hurd commented that it was “terrible.”
