Summary
Mitt Romney has voiced significant concerns about potential retribution from Donald Trump if the former president is re-elected. The retiring senator worries about the safety of his family, particularly in light of Trump’s history of targeting those who oppose him, including threats to investigate political adversaries.
Romney’s apprehensions stem from his unique position as a Republican who has openly criticized Trump, having voted to convict him in both impeachment trials. He fears that Trump’s promise of “retribution” could extend to his family, including his 25 grandchildren. In recent statements, Romney expressed that while he has not engaged in any wrongdoing that would warrant an investigation, he is nonetheless wary of Trump’s potential actions against him and his family, highlighting the broader implications of political dissent in an increasingly polarized environment. This sentiment was echoed by MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, who criticized fellow Republicans for not actively supporting alternatives to Trump, suggesting that genuine concern for family safety should compel them to take a stand against the former president.
