Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Monday defended fellow Republican Sen. Mike Rounds (S.D.) after former President Trump criticized Rounds for shooting down Trump’s claims the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him.
“While there were some irregularities, there were none of the irregularities which would have risen to the point where they would have changed the vote outcome in a single state,” Rounds said Sunday during an interview on ABC’s “This Week.”
……..
“Is he crazy or just stupid?” Trump said of Rounds. “The numbers are conclusive, and the fraudulent and irregular votes are massive. The only reason he did this is because he got my endorsement and easily won his state in 2020, so now he thinks he has time, and those are the only ones, the weak, who will break away. Even though his election will not be coming up for 5 years, I will never endorse this jerk again.”

— The Hill (@thehill) January 10, 2022Mike Rounds speaks truth knowing that our Republic depends upon it. Republicans like Govs Hutchinson, Baker & Hogan; Sens McConnell, Thune & Johnson; Bush & Cheney; plus 60+ courts and even the right-leaning Wall Street Journal editorial page agree: Joe Biden won the election.

GOP Sen. Mike Rounds responding to latest Donald Trump criticism: "Republicans, Democrats alike have made it very clear that we believed that the [2020] elections were fair and that they were correct in the outcome." https://t.co/fYMK5JvGn2 pic.twitter.com/k8NHgfgucE
— The Hill (@thehill) January 11, 2022Trump is such a child, the proverbial schoolyard bully. Or maybe more accurately, the whiney kid at the ballfield who threatens to take his bat and his ball and go home because the other kids were mean to him.
Looks like Senator Rounds doesn’t need defending. He’s hanging tough. Good for him.
