'I'm disappointed in Mitt Romney': Ari Fleischer explains why the incoming senator from Utah 'has a lot to learn'

Former press secretary for George W. Bush Ari Fleischer says the WaPo op-ed written by Mitt Romney shows that he has a lot to learn about the battles that really matter in Washington.

I’m disappointed in Mitt Romney. His defining act as an incoming Senator is to criticize Pres. Trump. If Senator-elect Romney thinks Trump is a bigger problem than Nancy Pelosi or Sen. Schumer then he has a lot to learn about how things get done in Washington.

This is after Romney’s own niece, Ronna McDaniel, criticized her uncle’s comments as “disappointing and unproductive” in a subtweet.

Romney’s editorial about how Trump has mishandled the presidency comes on a day that President Trump is meeting with Congressional leaders to try to work out a deal for wall funding and a day before Democrats take control of the House of Representatives.
