Mitt Romney Shreds Fellow Republicans ‘Prostrating Themselves’ By Showing Up at Trump’s Porn Star Hush Money Trial

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) slammed his fellow Republicans for showing up at Donald Trump’s porn star hush money trial this week in fiery comments to CNN’s Manu Raju on Wednesday.

Raju reported that Romney told him, “I think it’s a little demeaning to show up in front of the courthouse — and particularly one where we’re talking about an allegation of paying a porn star. And it’s really, really very difficult to watch.”

Raju noted he asked Romney why it was so difficult to watch and the 2012 GOP presidential nominee replied, “There’s a level of dignity and decorum that you expect the people who are running for the highest station in the land, and going out and prostrating themselves in front of the public to try and, apparently, curry favor with the person who’s our nominee is embarrassing.”

Ex-Rep Liz Cheney (R-WY) also slammed Republicans for showing up at the trail and aimed her criticism specifically at the very socially conservative speaker of the

House, Mike Johnson (R-LA). “Have to admit I’m surprised that @SpeakerJohnson wants to be in the “I cheated on my wife with a porn star” club. I guess he’s not that concerned with teaching morality to our young people after all,” Cheney jabbed on x.

Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) told The Hill this week that the sordid details of Trump’s trial are “painful and salacious” and remind him of the Clinton sex scandals of the 1990s. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) also slammed her colleagues like Sens. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) and JD Vance (R-OH) who attended the trial, saying, “Do we have something to do around here other than watch a stupid porn trial? I mean, this is ridiculous.”
