Punch<\/strong>: \u00a0 Harry Reid on Mitt Romney talking with Trump about serving in the Administration:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a man who came out big-time against Trump. Oh, the things he said about Trump. Well, that\u2019s great, that\u2019s wonderful,\u201d Reid said. \u201cEither he wasn\u2019t telling the truth, or he\u2019s a person with no character. After having said that, to go and do homage to this guy he said awful things about, I don\u2019t think that shows much character.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMitt Romney is somebody I had respect for,\u201d Reid said, in a somewhat dubious assertion. \u201cI have none anymore.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Counterpunch<\/strong>: \u00a0Romney’s response, with emphasis added to wallow in the pure gloriousness of it all:<\/p>\n

\u201cI was indeed very critical of Mr. Trump during his campaign. But now he has been elected president and accordingly, if I could have helped shape foreign policy to protect the country I love, I would have been more than willing to do so,\u201d Romney said through a spokesperson.\u00a0\u201cAs for Mr. Reid, I lost respect for him when he repeatedly lied about my taxes and later admitted to it cheerily. Good riddance, Mr. Reid. The Senate will be better served without you in it.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I always like Mitt. \u00a0I like him more now.<\/p>\n

To Democrats, doing what politicians do – engage in rhetoric – is business as usual. \u00a0Until it’s a Republican, when suddenly it’s “hypocrisy”.<\/p>\n

Good riddance, Reid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
