Author and columnist Mark Steyn toldTucker Carlson TonightThursday that the ironic fact lost in the firestorm surroundingSen. Mitt Romneys vote to convictPresident Trump of abuse of power this weekis that Romneyis the reason Trump is in the White House.

Steyn told host Tucker Carlson that Romney never punched back when attacked by the media or Democrats during his failed 2012 bid for the presidency.

When voters took note of that habit, they wanted a candidate who would do the exact opposite and not bow to the opposition when attacked. Those voters, Steyn said, gravitated toward Trump when he appeared on the scene.

TRUMPS POST-ACQUITTAL SPEECH BASHED BY MAINSTREAM MEDIA: THIS IS REALLY CRAZY

In 2015, theRepublican base decided thatthe essential quality theywere looking for was someonewho didnt let himself getslapped around by [CNNs] CandyCrowley as Mitt did in that [second 2012] debate, Steyn said. If Mitt doesnt like Trump,Mitt, look in the mirror,you are the reason forTrump.

Steyn and host Tucker Carlson listed several instances whenRomney wasnowhere near the good graces of the left, where he currently finds himself.

Pundits like Donny Deutsch, Chris Matthews and Al Sharpton slammed Romney during the 2012 campaign. Additionally, then-Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., claimed Romney didnt pay his taxes, and was nonchalant about the claim when it was revealed to be a false accusation.

The MSNBC host memorably claimed then-Sen. Obama gave him a thrill going up [his] leg as he and then-anchor Keith Olbermann were discussing the Illinois Democrats primary victories in early 2008.
