Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who voted twice to convict former President Trump on impeachment charges, is ruling out voting for Trump in 2024, citing a court’s finding that the former president sexually abused E. Jean Carroll in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in the 1990s.

Romney’s announcement that he won’t vote for Trump isn’t surprising. But it does show him sharpening his rhetoric against the front-runner for the GOP presidential nomination by saying the reason for his opposition is a Manhattan jury’s finding last year that Trump sexually abused and defamed Carroll, awarding her $5 million in damages.

A New York jury also ordered Trump last month to pay Carroll $83 million for defamation by claiming he never met her.

Piss off magic undies.

[Yo-Yo]

And I’ve ruled out voting for you, Pierre.

If it wasn’t that, it would be something else. Biden sexually assaulting an 8-year-old on video or groping a staffer doesn’t bother him. He only trashes Republicans. That helps his press.

[mykroar]

Because he was going to prior, LOL.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I would love to see Romneys bank records, he has his own Burisma connection, he knows if he dares speak out against Biden HIS dirty secrets will come out..Romney makes my skin crawl

[Sarah Barracuda]

dont forget Biden molesting his own daughter for YEARS, she turned to drugs because of that

Milt Dumbney: “I don’t understand what ex-post facto laws or bills of attainder are”.

[dfwgator]

As if he would ever vote for Trump.

[dfwgator]

I wish I’d ruled it out in 2012.

[willk]

Anyone with half a brain knows the Carroll case is a fraud. Romney can’t get more despicable. He might as well go ahead and admit his homo relationship that the Dems have been holding over him.

[dfwgator]

Bet you his dog would vote for Trump.

[Vigilanteman]

I rule out voting for Romney because his loyalties clearly lie with the deep state rather than America. When liberals claim they are being patriotic, they think the deep state has some divine right to rule. Romney has shown he is in their camp. I want my vote back from 2012!

To cite the Carroll case is so wrong on so many levels starting with the fact that it is a baseless accusation made possible by ex-post facto legislation passed in New York for the specific purpose of em-paneling a stacked jury for a predetermined decision.

Romney’s photo should be next to the definition for “empty suit “.

Chris Christie’s should be next to the definition of “ massive suit “.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

What a weak mind that “man” Romney has. The gold digger Carroll’s story has more holes in it than Swiss cheese. Carroll was about as believable as anything Biden says.

[Bonemaker]

Thanks a rot Utah.

[Manic_Episode]

I’m still sad FR voted for this turd en-masse.

[kiryandil]

The Carroll case was definitely a bill of attainder, and most likely an ex post facto law.

Carroll and her attorney worked with New Jerk state legislature Democrats to pass a "Get Trump!" law.

One could probably make a case for a RICO conspiracy.

Or just hire an outlaw biker gang or two to set matters right.

Willard the Rat.

[CodeToad]

That’s OK< we never included him anyway.

Somehow that nerd thinks he is everyone’s hero.

[Bullish]

Has Romney ever done even one good thing for America? No, not one damn thing.
