Mitt Romney Mocks Hillary Clinton's 'Most Embarrassing' Foreign Policy Mistake
Two-time Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney went out of his way to criticize expected 2016 Democratic White House contender Hillary Clinton in an interview with Fox News' Megyn Kelly on Thursday night.
Romney, asked about President Barack Obama's foreign policy towards Russia, pivoted to mock Clinton, Obama's former secretary of state, for presenting a literal "reset button" to Russia's foreign minister in 2009. Relations between the U.S. and Russia have since sharply deteriorated.
"I worry about the country," Romney said. "The president got those things wrong. Unfortunately he underestimated Russia. This whole 'reset policy' with Hillary Clinton - smiling ear from ear, pressing a red reset button - I think is one of the most embarrassing incidents in American foreign policy."
At another point in the interview, Romney also went after Clinton for her recent statements separating herself from Obama's foreign policy. Among other things, Clinton appeared to dismiss Obama's "don't do stupid stuff" philosophy. But Romney argued Clinton can't separate herself from Obama's blunders overseas.
There is speculation swirling that Romney is interested in taking another shot at the White House in 2016. However, Romney, appearing with his former vice presidential nominee, Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin), suggested Ryan should run instead.
"I had my turn. It's his turn now," Romney said.
"You should do it," Ryan replied.
