Mitt Romney slammed the 'vile' and 'hate-filled' politics in America on Tuesday and asked President Donald Trump to 'tone it down' when it comes to his fiery rhetoric. His plea came with less than three weeks to go before Election Day and after the president spent the morning in a Twitter fury - attacking political foes and the media in a storm of tweets. Trump also drug Romney into the matter, pointing to a clip of Joe Biden struggling to remember the Republican senator's name to argue Biden has diminished mental capabilities. In his 250-word missive, Romney attacked Republicans and Democrats alike for the vitriol but noted there was exception - Joe Biden.'I'm troubled by our politics as it has moved away from spirited debate to a vile, vituperative, hate-filled morass that is unbecoming of any free nation – let alone the birthplace of modern democracy,' Romney wrote in a statement he posted to Twitter. He went on to attack Republicans and Democrats alike. He slammed President Trump for calling Democratic vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris a 'monster' and for labeling Speaker Nancy Pelosi as 'crazy.' Trump made the remarks about Harris in an interview with Fox Business after the vice presidential debate and he's referred to Pelosi as 'crazy' multiple times on twitter and in interviews.But Romney didn't let Pelosi off the hook. He criticized the speaker for tearing up the text of President Trump's State of the Union address in January. Romney didn't mention Biden by name in his rare bit of praise but it was obvious who he meant when he noted the Democrats' 'presidential nominee' doesn't 'stoop as low as others.' 'Democrats launch blistering attacks of their own – though their presidential nominee refuses to stoop as low as others,' he wrote. Romney went on to remind America's political leaders the world was watching with 'abject horror' as November 3 approaches.'The world is watching America with abject horror; more consequentially, our children are watching. Many Americans are frightened for our country – so divided, so angry, so mean, so violent,' he noted.'It is time to lower the heat. Leaders must tone it down. Leaders from the top and leaders of all stripes. Parents, bosses, reporters, columnists, professors, union chiefs, everyone. The consequence of the crescendo of anger leads to a very bad place. No sane person can want that,' he concluded. Romney has tangled with Trump on many occasions, and, ahead of the 2016 election gave a major speech denouncing his candidacy. He said he wrote in the name of his wife, Anne Romney, on the presidential ticket that year. He has not said how he'll vote in the 2020 election.The Republican senator from Utah also voted to
