Racists ‘rejoice,’ Romney says in dig at Trump

BRIDGEWATER, N.J. — Mitt Romney, the Republican presidential nominee in 2012, has excoriated President Trump for his equivocating response to the violence in Charlottesville, Va., and urged him to apologize or risk subjecting the country to “an unraveling of our national fabric.”

Romney’s remarks, posted on Facebook on Friday, mark some of the strongest language from a Republican against Trump after a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville and an attack by a driver that left a woman dead. Trump, on Tuesday, said “both sides” were to blame for last Saturday’s deadly violence.
