Utah GOP Sen. Mitt Romney told CBS News' Norah O'Donnell in an exclusive interview that he thinks House Republicans are 'letting the tail wag the dog' in choosing Jim Jordan as speaker.
Utah Sen. Mitt Romney criticized House Republicans for allowing such a small minority within the GOP to call the shots, by selecting Republican Rep. Jim Jordan to be their speaker. Romney spoke with 'CBS Evening News' anchor and managing editor Norah O'Donnell in an exclusive interview, as House Republicans continue to struggle to elect a permanent speaker, after a handful of hardliners in the party ousted Rep. Kevin McCarthy from the post earlier this month.
But if he does get the job, it'll be a case of the dog catching the car, which is, what happens then?'Romney added, 'There are people in my party who go to Washington to bark, to make noise — not to make law, but to make noise. I think Jim Jordan would call himself one of those, who's got a lot to say and is loud and barking, but actually passing law, getting law that's signed, not just by members of the House, but also in the Senate and by the president.
