Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) offered rare Republican criticism of the Trump administration’s coronavirus response Friday, saying the federal government dismissed the virus’s threat and failed to protect Americans as infections spiraled out of control.
“Short term, I think it’s fair to say we really have not distinguished ourselves in a positive way by how we responded to the crisis when it was upon us,” Romney said in a video interview with the Sutherland Institute. “And the proof of the pudding of that is simply that we have 5 percent of the world’s population but 25 percent of the world’s deaths due to covid-19.”
“And there’s no way to spin that in a positive light,” Romney said.
I'll give ol' Willard a few points for trying to "stand up" and push back, but this -
“Short term, I think it’s fair to say we really have not distinguished ourselves in a positive way..."
- is among the more perfect examples of high-grade passive-voice political mumbling.
