Trump “is wrong to say that the elections were rigged”: Senator Romney

The Republican senator assured that “the president has the right to ask for a recount” of the votes.

Republican Senator Mitt Romney questioned Donald Trump this Friday, November 6, for repeating, without evidence, that the presidential election had been rigged and believed the president’s statements undermined institutions and fueled tensions.

“The president has the right to ask for a recount” of the votes, but “he is wrong to say that the election was rigged, corrupted and stolen,” Romney, one of Trump’s most critical Republicans, wrote on Twitter.
