Fox News Exclusive: Romney says he had to follow 'conscience' on vote to convict Trump, expects ‘enormous consequences’.
Fox News ^ | 2/5/2020 | Tyler Olson

Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, told Fox News' Chris Wallace Wednesday in an exclusive interview that he "had to follow my conscience" in deciding to vote to convict President Trump on abuse of power, a decision that's likely to ignite serious blowback from Trump and others in the Republican Party.

"I believe that the act he took, an effort to corrupt an election is as destructive an attack on the oath of office and our Constitution as I can imagine," Romney said. "It is a high crime and misdemeanor within the meaning of the Constitution, and that is not a decision I take lightly. It is the last decision I want to take."

I am not shocked, but disappointed greatly in him. He’s gonna get quite a surprise coming when the indictments are unsealed. He may even have to resign from the Senate...................

Mitt Romney (D-Kolob) is a self-serving traitor to America.

Romney is associated with Burisma - Hunter Biden connection, no?

This explains everything right there, if nothing else.

When you can't make big good things happen, you make big bad things happen.

That's what grandiose people do. For these ... what's required is big regard, not good regard. Good regard is preferred, but good essence isn't required.

When nothing to produce good regard is available, as became true after he handed Obama a second term, you just go for 'big whatever.'

Congratulations, Mitt, today you have big regard, but only good regard from yourself. Don't go thinking you've got the respect of Democrats, as they can't give what they don't have.

At last, you are a true martyr. You have completed the fool's journey.

Romney has no conscience. Pushed abortion for his entire adult life until he decided to run for president as a Republican. Also pushed homo marriage, open-borders, globalism, socialist health care, gun control, etc. He’s a Trump-hating godless liberal and hypocritical liar. He’s probably mixed up in the Ukrainian corruption himself.

I wouldn’t mind seeing the sane citizens of Utah hang the backstabbing narcissistic sumbitch.

No conscience involved, just envy and butthurt that President Trump accomplished something Romney could not.

Now how would John McCain have voted today if he were still here? Doesn’t take long to decide that one, and the same explanation fits.

His ‘conscience’ wasn’t bothering him in the least when he was begging Trump to be Secretary of State.
