“You know, I think Abraham Lincoln dealt with that kind of insanity,” Romney said on Tuesday, according to Deseret News. “We’re not going to divide the country. It’s united we stand, divided we fall.”
Romney dismissed Greene and others on the extremes.
“There are some people in my party and the other party that say things to try and get a headline and get people to send them money. And that happens to be in today’s ‘loony left,’ or I should say ‘loony right,’” Romney said, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
He’s not alone among his state’s GOP contingent in slamming Greene. Utah Gov. Spencer Cox wrote on Twitter:
McCarthy has not commented on Greene’s call for “national divorce,” but has stuck with her consistently.
“I will never leave that woman,” McCarthy reportedly said in a private conversation earlier this year, according to The New York Times. “I will always take care of her.”
