President Trump<\/a> called Sen. Mitt Romney a \u201closer\u201d Monday after the Utah Republican criticized the president\u2019s firing of government watchdogs.<\/p>\n

The president posted one word \u2014 \u201cLoser\u201d \u2014 on Twitter with a montage of video clips reviewing Mr. Romney\u2019s loss to President Barack Obama in 2012, and Mr. Trump<\/a>\u2019s victory in 2016.<\/p>\n

Mr. Romney, the only Senate Republican to vote to convict the president in his impeachment trial, denounced Mr. Trump<\/a>\u2019s firings of inspectors general, calling it a \u201cthreat to accountable democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe firings of multiple Inspectors General is unprecedented; doing so without good cause chills the independence essential to their purpose,\u201d Mr. Romney tweeted. \u201cIt is a threat to accountable democracy and a fissure in the constitutional balance of power.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump<\/a> on Friday fired State Department Inspector General Steve Linick, saying he no longer had confidence in him. Congressional Democrats say they believe the firing is connected to Mr. Linick\u2019s investigation of Secretary of State Mike Pompeo into allegations that he improperly gave personal duties to a political appointee.<\/p>\n
