Sen. Mitt Romney insisted he is not leading a revolt against President Trump, saying the Republican Party is big enough to accommodate views that differ from those of the president.
"There are many young people who might tend to think that the Republican Party is only represented by one point of view, the president’s point of view, were there not people like myself," the Utah Republican told Politico in an interview on Friday. "We are not a pup tent … rather a much larger tent. And we can accommodate different people with different views."
As an impeachment inquiry brews, Romney, 72, emphasized he is not planning on a Never Trump revolt.
"I don’t believe I’m leading a wing of the party. Because there’s no wing that’s very large that is aligned with me," he said. "Since I’ve been back, I have not spoken with a single senator about the impeachment process or about the implications of the process that’s going on or how I would vote."
