GOP leader says President Trump has apologized to her over his spats with her uncle, Mitt Romney

Washington • Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel says President Donald Trump has apologized for putting her in a tough situation at times when Sen. Mitt Romney, her uncle, and the president are at odds.

McDaniel said Thursday that “it’s family,” and sometimes family members disagree but that Trump has been supportive of her at times when Trump and Romney were getting, well, testy.

“I will say, you know, there have been times where the president has said, ‘I’m sorry, you have to deal with this.’ And been very kind,” McDaniel said in response to a question from The Salt Lake Tribune on a day when Romney is joining other GOP senators for a White House meeting with Trump.
