Mitt Romney had some harsh words for potential Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton this weekend, calling her "clueless."
"[Clinton] was asked whether the Bowe Bergdahl trade was one that presented a threat to the United States," Romney said. "And she came back with a clueless answer. She was clueless."
Pot to kettle: You're black.
For world-class cluelessness, one need look no further than Romney himself, who gave these memorably clueless answers on his own campaign trail just two years ago:
