Rick Gorka, who is now a communications director for the Republican National Committee (RNC), tweeted Wednesday that Trump accomplished what he [Romney] has failed to do multiple times.

I believe Mitt Romney is motivated by bitterness and jealously that @realDonaldTrump accomplished what he has failed to do multiple times. His desire to pander to the chattering class has gotten the best of him...again.

These are the same people that hated Mitt in 2012 and they will hate him again when they are done with him, he added. It is sad to see that Mitt has not learned the lessons from 2012. Now he has betrayed his Party and millions of voters.

Gorkas comments come amid a wave of pushback from the GOP.

The presidents eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., also claimed that Romney was bittertoward the president, and called for him to be expelled from the Senate GOP conference.

Mitt Romney is forever bitter that he will never be POTUS. He was too weak to beat the Democrats then so hes joining them now.

Hes now officially a member of the resistance & should be expelled from the @GOP.

Earlier Wednesday, Ronna Romney McDaniel,chairwoman of theRNC andRomneys niece, said sheand the rest of the GOP committee sides with the president.
