Conway: ‘Was It Appropriate for Governor Romney to Stick His Neck out So Far in Attacking Donald Trump?’

CONWAY: "Well, first of all, I’m reflecting the news, not trying to make the news.  I was astonished, Chris, that in a week when President-elect Trump told “The New York Times” on the record he would relook at waterboarding, he would relook at the Paris accords on climate change, he was not particularly interested in focusing on prosecuting Hillary Clinton any further because he was focused on health care and immigration.  He understands that other agencies and individuals are charged with that responsibility.  But in a week when he said that, the breathtaking backlash was really about this particular prospective cabinet member.  I would turn the question around and ask, was it appropriate for Governor Romney to stick his neck out so far in attacking Donald Trump?  And never walking it back, never encouraging people to support the nominee once Mr. Trump had won the nomination squarely and fairly.  So, I’ve spoken my piece on that.  And, certainly, the president-elect knows and I said publicly and will say here again, whatever he chooses and whomever he chooses has my full support and backing."
