Mitt Romney: I Look Forward to Being Able to Have a Trusted Relationship with the President

‘If the president were to say things that were divisive of a significant nature I would call him out on that and I have with regards to Charlottesville, attacks on the media’

EXCERPT:

ROMNEY: "It's certainly an opportunity for us to work together on things where we agree. I actually said prior to the primary in an op-ed that I wrote in the Utah papers that I would work with the president on places where we agree and where we disagreed I would point that out. If the president were to say things that were divisive of a significant nature that I would call him out on that and I have by the way, with regards to Charlottesville, attacks on the media, the Roy Moore endorsement, the Khashoggi approach. I pointed out places where we’re different and that's the great nature of this representative democracy, which is when we agree we come together, where there are disagreements we express those openly and honestly, that allows people to have trust in one another and I look forward to being able to have a trusted relationship with the president and with others despite differences from time to time."
