I thought this was a telling interview on Sunday morning by former 2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
Pretty straight to the point.
I don’t want to carelessly use the words treason, sedition, or criminal at this point. I don’t want to be reckless.
Seventy-five percent of the world does however view what Putin is doing in Ukraine as the acts of a war criminal.
The very war criminal both Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump praised earlier this week.

I don’t know what to write about you Trump people any longer. Your penchant for shame seems to have no limitations whatsoever.
The WWII generation will always historically be viewed as our Greatest Generation…and rightfully so.
But you people…you are really something.
If you stay on the track you’re currently navigating, you will have a chance to be recognized as the most historically dubious generation of Americans.
Even in the Civil War, history has shown some empathy for the Confederacy and those who defended it. But you group of people not only gave legitimacy to a criminal’s attempt to hang his own vice-president and overthrow the Constitution of the United States. But you went even more yard this week. You out did yourselves this time.
You’ve gone even beyond the O.J. Simpson standard of hall-of-fame shame a mere one year later.
You’re now telling us Donald Trump in his praise of a murderous thug and war criminal is prescient for his praise of Putin.
Mitt Romney called you people idiots and morons today on State of the Union with Dana Bash. Just so you know. I’m not going to disagree with Mitt Romney. Hillary Clinton called you Deplorables…she was right. You’re deplorable human beings.
So why don’t you people do the rest of us a favor. Why don’t thirty- million of you move to Russia and live with your boys Donalt and Vlad.
And in your absence, we’ll find a way to replace you with twenty-million Ukrainians who actually understand what it means to embrace liberty and freedom.
What it means to be an American.
We’ll call this the Romney Doctrine.
