MSNBC Sees Romney in Battle vs. ‘Far Right’

[See NewsBusters for more.] MSNBC reporter Garrett Haake on Tuesday spun Mitt Romney’s Senate primary battle as a struggle against the “far right.” Regarding Romney’s recent (and 2016 criticisms) of the President, Haake described: “But this idea of trying to drive a wedge between Romney and Trump is something that those on the far right may try to exploit tonight.” On Tuesday night, Romney will face off in a debate against Utah House member Mike Kennedy for the state’s Senate nomination. Damning with faint praise, Haake compared: “Romney is fluent on policy issues. Far more so than most Senate candidates. He can talk about immigration He can talk about education.”
