Romney will not recover from this…
Fox’s Chris Wallace alerted Sen. Mitt Romney’s (R-UT) that President Trump will “never forgive” him for voting, as a Republican, to convict him in his impeachment trial.
According to Breitbart, Wallace stated, “You realize this is war. Donald Trump will never forgive you for this.”
Romney responded, “I know in my heart that I’m doing what’s right. I understand there’s going to be enormous consequence. And I don’t have a choice in that regard. That’s why I haven’t been anxious to be in the position I’m in. When I heard there was going to be an impeachment investigation, as I heard the evidence coming forward, I dreaded the responsibility I’d have. But I was not willing to abdicate the responsibility given to me by the Constitution, nor to ignore my conscience out of personal and political significance, considerations. I had to follow my conscience.”
Adding, “And I have to recognize that it was one or the other. One is to say I don’t want to face the blowback, not just from the president but from my party, my state, from Republican voters. They will ascribe all sorts of motives and so forth. And those are all the consequences. But on the other side, there is: do you do what you know is right? Do you do what your conscience in your heart tells you? Do you abide by the oath that you swore to God? And I believe in God and I believe I have a responsibility to put that first went to put all the other consequences behind.” You can watch a clip of Romney’s twisted comments here.

Gee, What did Mitt hear the rest of us didn’t.? It’s no wonder he’s a political failure.
romney another lying libturd.
There is a movement in the Utah Legislature to remove him from his Senate seat and many people in the cities are starting recall petitions. Romney ended his political career with that vote.
There was no evidence that Trump committed any of the crimes brought forth by the Democrats. Did Mitt vote against Pres Trump because of his conscience or his hate?
