An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud.
Utah Senate hopeful Mitt Romney said that he does not see President Trump as a good "role model" for his grandchildren.
Romney made the comment during an interview with NBC News on Monday, ahead of a Senate primary debate.
"I don't think that I would point to the president as a role model for my grandkids on the basis of his personal style," Romney said. "He has departed in some cases from the truth and has attacked in a way that I think is not entirely appropriate."
He added that he thinks Trump's policies have exceeded his expectations, but that, "some of the things he has said are not ones that I would aspire for my grandkids to adopt."
Romney failed to earn the Utah GOP nomination outright last month, and will be on the ballot in the state's June 26 primary to replace retiring Sen. Orrin Hatch (R).
Romney was a harsh critic and "Never-Trumper" during the 2016 election, but has since tempered his criticism as he launches his Senate bid.
"I look forward. I'm not going to look backward," Romney said last month about his past criticisms of the president.
Romney said Tuesday that he would continue to call Trump out on "racist or misogynistic" comments, and that he would "call 'em like I see 'em."
"Where the president is right in my view, on policy, for Utah and for the country, I'll be with him," Romney said. "But if the president were to say something that I consider highly divisive or racist or misogynistic, I'll call him out on it. Because I think it's important for people to know exactly where one stands."
Trump endorsed Romney in the Senate race, though in 2016, Romney said that he would not have accepted Trump's endorsement for president in 2012 if Trump had said "the things he says today" about minority groups.
