Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) is sharing how he would have responded to the prosecution of former President Donald Trump if he was President Joe Biden.

Speaking to MSNBC’s Stephanie Rule on Wednesday, the Utah senator said, “I think President Biden made an enormous error. He should have fought like crazy to keep this prosecution from going forward. It was a win-win for Donald Trump.”

Rule then asked, “Is that Joe Biden’s job?”

“I’ve been around for a while. If LBJ had been president and he didn’t want something like this to happen, he’d have been all over that prosecutor saying, ‘You better not bring that forward or I’m gonna drive you out of office,'” Romney responded.

The host then noted she believes Romney supports “having separate but equal branches of government.”

The senator answered, “I do.”

However, he did not stop there:

“Had I been President Biden when the Justice Department brought an indictment, I would have immediately pardoned him. I’d have pardoned President Trump. Why? Because it makes me, President Biden, the big guy and the person I pardoned the little guy. And number two, it’s not gonna get resolved before the election, it’s not gonna have an impact before the election, and frankly the country doesn’t want to have to go through prosecuting a former president.”

Romney added, “I think the American people have recognized that President Trump did have an inappropriate affair with someone who is a porn star. I think they realize that. I think they realize that he took classified documents he shouldn’t have and didn’t handle them properly. I think they understand that as well. I think they realize that he’s been lying about the election in 2020. They know those things, so these things are not changing the public attitude, and frankly we ought to get beyond these and focus on the big issues that really matter to the American people: our inflation, our border, what’s happening around the world.”

While Romney suggested Trump should have been pardoned, that does not mean he approves of Republicans traveling to New York City to attend the former president’s hush money trial.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, he said it is “a little embarrassing” for Republicans to do so.

He added, “I think it’s a little demeaning to show up in front of a courthouse particularly one where we’re talking about an allegation of paying a porn star.”
