Showing he’s no fan of the possible 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton, Mitt Romney blasted the former secretary of state as “clueless,” on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, reported Yahoo news.
He attacked her answers to questions about the prisoner exchange for Sgt. Bowie Berghdal, saying, “She was clueless. She said, ’Look, these commandos don’t represent a threat to the United States.’ Well, of course they do. And then she went on to say, ’They only represent a threat to Afghanistan and Pakistan.’ Are you kidding? I mean, we’re in Afghanistan. And we’re in Afghanistan in part to protect America’s security,” Mr. Romney said on the show, according to Yahoo.
When asked how the GOP should combat a possible Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential run, Mr. Romney said the Republican Party need to only look at her record.
“I think her clueless comments about the Bergdahl exchange as well as her record as the secretary of state are really going to be the foundation of how a Republican candidate is able to take back the White House,” he said.
