Ann Romney says Mitt would've accepted State position if Trump had asked



BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 03/27/17 11:31 AM EDT

Ann Romney said Mitt Romney would have accepted the role of secretary of State had he been offered it.

"I thought Mitt would have been terrific and we were very seriously considering it," she said during an interview on NBC's "Today."

"I think he was very seriously being considered. And so for Mitt to have been able to shape foreign affairs I think would have been a very significant role for him and I know he would have accepted it if he had been asked."

Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee, was under consideration to serve as secretary of State before he was ultimately passed over for the position, which went to Rex Tillerson. During Trump's presidential campaign, Romney was a strong critic of Trump. He called Trump a "con man, a phony and a fraud." After he was passed over the position, Romney said it was an "honor to have been considered" for the role.

I still haven't forgiven him for that whole dog incident
(tied the dog crate, with the dog inside, to the roof of the car when he moved.) And weren't you in the car, Ann, when that happened??

Cruelty to animals is pretty much a no-no in my book
