President Trump took a shot at Sen. Mitt Romney on Monday and praised Democrats for their unity in the impeachment inquiry — while calling on Republicans to get “tougher and fight.”

“I think they’re lousy politicians,” Trump said of Democrats during a Cabinet meeting at the White House. “But two things they have. They’re vicious and they stick together. They don’t have Mitt Romney in their midst. They don’t have people like that.”

Speaking of the inquiry House Democrats launched, Trump said he watched a “couple of people on television” who talked about “what a phony deal it is. What a phony investigation it is.”

“And Republicans have to get tougher and fight,” Trump went on. “We have some that are great fighters, but they have to get tougher and fight because the Democrats are trying to hurt the Republican party for the election, which is coming up, where we’re doing very well.”

While Trump slammed Romney for his disloyalty, he praised Rep. Will Hurd (R-Texas), who defended the president on his phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that sparked the inquiry.

“What we haven’t heard from any Ukrainian official that felt like there was this arrangement … we haven’t even had a Ukrainian official tell a state department official that they felt like their arms were being twisted,” Hurd said Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation.”

It was revealed on Monday that Romney used a private Twitter account and the moniker Pierre Delecto to lurk online and criticize the president.

He also called out Trump for asking Ukraine and China to find dirt on Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter.

“We certainly can’t have presidents asking foreign countries to provide something of political value. That is, after all, against the law,” Romney told Axios.

Romney was also among a group of Republican lawmakers who condemned Trump’s withdrawing US troops from Syria, allowing Turkish forces to attack the Kurds, who fought with the US against Islamic State terrorists.

Speaking on the Senate floor last week, Romney accused Trump of abandoning “an ally.”

“What we have done to the Kurds will stand as a bloodstain in the annals of American history,” he said.

And last week 129 House Republicans voted to rebuke Trump for his policies in Syria.
