According to a new biography of Mitt Romney, the Utah senator once questioned US aid to Israel.
AdvertisementIn recent years, it's mostly been Democrats who have questioned the utility of US aid to Israel.
But in 2019, one Republican senator quietly questioned the necessity of that aid: Mitt Romney.
And on Tuesday, Romney expanded on that exchange in a brief interview with Business Insider at the Capitol — saying that he believes Israel aid actually saves the US money.
"I think we're now in a very unusual circumstance, given that Israel is at war," said Romney.
