Romney told CNN’s Dana Bash on “Etihad State.”
Asked by Bash on Sunday whether sanctions were the right step and what additional steps the United States could take, Romney, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Washington should “continue to raise the bar for that.”
“As (Senate Minority Leader) Mitch McConnell said, you can’t impose sanctions that are too heavy. At the same time, you have to realize that for sanctions to be most effective, you want to share them with our allies around the world. We want to be all together. In this matter. So, we can only move forward at the speed that everyone wants to move together. So this is critical. But these sanctions will have an impact,” he said. “Let’s continue to lift sanctions against what is an evil regime.”
“This is unimaginable to me, it’s almost treasonous and it hurts me to see some of these people do it,” he told Bach. “But, of course, they do it because if they get shock value and it’s good to get more eyeballs and maybe make more money for them or their networks. It’s sickening.”
