Mitt Romney took a swipe at Donald Trump on Monday, condemning the crude comments the president was said to have made about Haiti and African countries — calling them “inconsistent (with) America’s history and antithetical to American values” with a reference to Martin Luther King, Jr.
“The poverty of an aspiring immigrant’s nation of origin is as irrelevant as their race,” Romney tweeted. “The sentiment attributed to POTUS is inconsistent w/America’s history and antithetical to American values. May our memory of Dr. King buoy our hope for unity, greatness, & ‘charity for all.’”

[divider][/divider]Mitt Romney is running for Senate — at least according to Utah’s governor, Gary Herbert.
Utah Republicans had been “growing anxious” waiting for Romney to announce whether he planned to seek Sen. Orrin Hatch’s seat, which Hatch plans to vacate after his current term ends in 2019, so they were pestering Romney’s close friends and family to get a definitive decision.
One came on Sunday.
Herbert told The New York Times that he was among the top pesterers. “Let’s not be coy about this,” he says he told a Romney friend. If he’s going to run, let’s go. If not, we need to find somebody else to run, and there’s people that have been trying to queue up for the opportunity.”
Romney answered Herbert in a text, Hebert says. It read, simply, “I’m running.” – READ MORE
Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was treated over the summer after a prostate cancer diagnosis, Fox News has confirmed.
An aide said Romney was surgically treated by Dr. Thomas Ahlering at UC Irvine Hospital. The treatment was successful and Romney’s prognosis is good, the person said.
