Conway: ‘I’m Not Campaigning’ Against Romney, ‘I’m a Concerned Citizen’

‘I am just astonished at the breathtaking volume and intensity of blow back that I see just as one person close to the president-elect’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
TODD: "Why are you campaigning against Mitt Romney as secretary of state?"
CONWAY: "I’m not campaigning against anyone. I’m a concerned citizen."
TODD: "But you don’t think he should be the choice."
CONWAY: "I can’t tell you — I’m not trying to make the news. I’m trying to reflect the news here. I am just astonished at the breathtaking volume and intensity of blow back that I see just as one person close to the president-elect is receiving unsolicited from people on social media, particularly in private communications. People feel betrayed to think that governor Romney, who went out of his way to question the character and the intellect and the integrity of Donald Trump now our president-elect would be given the most significant cabinet post of all. That’s a decision that one man can make, President-Elect Trump. I will respect it. And I will support it 1,000%. But I’m reflecting what the grass roots are saying. They feel — they feel a bit betrayed to think you can get a Romney back in there after everything he did. We don’t know if he voted for Donald Trump. He and his consultants were not but awful to Donald Trump for a year."
