Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown suggested during an interview Wednesday that Mitt Romney would support Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, despite the 2012 Republican presidential nominee's steadfast criticism of his likely successor.

"I've heard from many sources that [Romney] has said, indirectly or directly to them, if it's between Hillary and Trump, Trump wins," Brown told a Boston Herald radio program on Wednesday morning.

Unlike Romney, who delivered a blistering speech against Trump before the Utah primary in early March, Brown endorsed the billionaire in February and has since urged others to embrace him as the presumptive Republican nominee.

During the interview Wednesday, Brown suggested that Massachusetts' Republican Gov. Charlie Baker should get behind Trump in order to ensure the Bay State is in good standing with the White House in the event that Trump makes it to the Oval Office.

"If Charlie picks up the phone and calls Hillary, he's going to get a call like three months later," Brown said. "If he picks up the phone and calls Trump, he is going to get a call within minutes and that's going to be helpful when you need those disaster funds or you need those educational funds or special needs funding or you need … some type of consideration for some legislation that's important in Massachusetts ."

A spokesperson for Romney did not return the Washington Examiner's request for comment.
