Amember of the Republican National Committee claimed Tuesday night in a letter to the other 167 committee members that Mitt Romney's anti-Donald Trump op-ed published hours earlier was an act of 'calculated political treachery' against the president
Jevon O.A.Williams, the RNC member who represents the U.S.Virgin Islands, wrote that Romney could use 'loopholes' in the nominating process to openly challenge the president's re-nomination in 2020
That, he wrote, would feed Romney's 'fantasy of being president, even if that means destroying our party and denying President Trump re-election
' 'With Republicans like him who needs Democrats?' Williams added.He confirmed in a phone call Wednesday morning that he sent the email but declined further comment
In his Washington Post op-ed, Romney referred to Trump as 'the incumbent.'His niece, Ronna Romney McDaniel, is the Republican Party's chairwoman
McDaniel appeared to take Trump's side in the dispute, tweeting Wednesday that '[f]or an incoming Republican freshman senator to attack @realdonaldtrump as their first act feeds into what the Democrats and media want and is disappointing and unproductive
' Romney, the GOP's failed 2012 presidential nominee will become Utah's junior U.S
senator on Thursday, replacing reliable Trump ally Orrin Hatch.He wrote that the president's 'conduct over the past two years, particularly his actions this month, is evidence that the president has not risen to the mantle of the office
' An annoyed Trump tweeted Wednesday morning that Romney should '[b]e a TEAM player & WIN!' 'I won big, and he didn't
He should be happy for all Republicans,' Trump jabbed.In his letter, Williams asked fellow RNC committee members to issue a statement at their Winter Meeting this month declaring that Trump will be the party's presidential nominee in 2020
He also wants to close what he calls 'loopholes' in the nominating process that Romney, Ohio Gov
John Kasich and outgoing Arizona Sen.Jeff Flake, all anti-Trump GOP moderates, could use to weaken the president in primary elections and caucuses
'Look, the political history is clear.No Republican president opposed for re-nomination has ever won re-election,' he wrote
'While President Trump would win re-nomination it wouldn't come quick and it wouldn't be inexpensive
Any contested re-nomination campaign—even a forlorn hope—would only help Democrats
' Williams is a native of Antigua & Barbuda who earned U.S.citizenship through a dozen years of Army National Guard service
In 2015 and 2016 he ran a presidential primary campaign in the U.S.Virgin Islands for onetime Trump rival Ben Carson, who is now secretary of of Housing and Urban Development
Williams is now a firm Trump supporter, defending the president's U.S.-Mexico border politices despite living on an island in the Caribbean
'#BorderSecurity is a must! Build the wall!' Williams tweeted last month.'President Trump wants to protect America and her citizens but the Democrats don't want him to
#Treason,' he added a few days before Christmas as the hours ticked down to a partial government shutdown over funding for a border wall
He tweeted on Tuesday that unnamed 'black media voices promote the liberal agenda which is in total conflict with the black agenda
' And he took up Trump's crusade against a prominent CNN journalist in November, tweeting: 'Jim Acosta is a special person and by special I mean stupid
#FakeNews #EnemyofthePeople.' Williams is pictured in late 2017 with Vice President Mike Pence and second lady Karen Pence Merry Christmas (yes, it's still Christmas), happy New Year, and warm greetings from where many of you probably want to be right now: America's Caribbean
Imagine my surprise when I read the junior senator-elect from Utah's unprecedented rebuke of President Donald J
Trump in an op-ed on the pages of The Washington Post that ran before he was even sworn into office
I couldn't believe this was coming from our party's 2012 nominee, who, despite differences in politics, still professes to be a Republican
With Republicans like him who needs Democrats.Seriously.I swear that Republicans can be their own worst enemy
Democrats don't have to worry about the three-ring circus and civil war that is engulfing their party's 2020 nomination campaign because so-called Republicans are forcing us to spend valuable time, money, and resources in re-nominating our president
Make no mistake.This was calculated political treachery.The op-ed, again before he even assumed office, was published the night of New Year's Day
This was done to define the week's narrative in the mainstream media and chattering class
It also only serves to undermine our party and its president by playing into the hands of House Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer as they seek to divide Republicans and distract attention away from their refusal to protect our borders
As an immigrant, a combat veteran, a black American, a millennial, and as a member of the RNC, I wholeheartedly support and endorse President Trump for re-nomination
That isn't to say I don't have my disappointments.I do.Like many of you, I have been frustrated by the inability to get Republicans nominated to U
S.attorney, U.S.marshal, and District Court judgeships.But the record is clear and President Trump's policies at home and abroad are getting results by putting the national interest first and foremost
My friends, you know what's going to happen.Messrs.Romney, Flake, and Kasich will continue chasing their fantasy of being president, even if that means destroying our party and denying President Trump re-election
Look, the political history is clear.No Republican president opposed for re-nomination has ever won re-election
Unfortunately, loopholes in the rules governing the 2020 re-nomination campaign are enabling these so-called Republicans to flirt with the possibility of contested primaries and caucuses
While President Trump would win re-nomination it wouldn't come quick and it wouldn't be inexpensive
Any contested re-nomination campaign—even a forlorn hope—would only help Democrats
Accordingly, I am asking for your support to take the unprecedented step of amending the rules to close loopholes in the re-nomination campaign, including Rule 40
These rules, as I read them and has been reported in the press, didn't take into account an incumbent president running for re-election
Beyond a rules amendment, I also ask for your support of a resolution declaring the RNC's unanimous and unequivocal endorsement of President Trump for re-nomination
This resolution would also declare him the presumptive nominee in 2020.I intend for both of these items to be acted upon at the winter meeting later this month, including, if necessary, by suspending the rules to take up this business
The so-called Republicans seeking to defeat President Trump have used our silence to advance their cause
It's time to make our voice heard: Our party, be it the RNC or the grassroots in the 56 states, territories and District of Columbia, is united behind President Trump
