Romney: Chris Christie "took responsibility" and "has moved on as a leader"

[Miles Archer]

“He took responsibility, he fired people that were responsible for the scandal, and he has moved on as a leader,” Romney told theTODAY Show Friday in an exclusive interview. “I do believe that the American people want to see a strong leader in the White House, and he is.”

Romney claimed Christie bears a similarity to former President Lyndon B. Johnson, who pushed through civil rights reform because he was a strong leader.

“We’re watching right now a Washington that can’t get the job done. Chris does, and I think that’s one of the reasons he’s as popular as he is,” Romney said, noting that he has been in touch with the governor recently.

Romney’s interview with TODAY host Savannah Guthrie came on the heels of Friday’s release of the documentary Mitt on Netflix. The 90-minute film looks at the trials and tribulations endured by the two-time presidential candidate and his family.

2. He's such an asshole

Seriously. He's such a monumental asshole.

Nobody in NJ except for the most staunch party faithful have 'moved on' from this.

This is the kind of 'delusion' that loses elections.
