Mitt Romney 'formally not invited' to CPAC after impeachment vote on witnesses

The chairman of CPAC announced that Utah Sen. Mitt Romney is "formally not invited" to the conservative group's annual conference this year.

Matt Schlapp, the head of the American Conservative Union, said Romney is not allowed at the event after the Utah Republican voted in favor of summoning witnesses in the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump. Romney was one of two Republicans who joined 47 Democrats in supporting the motion, which failed to pass on Friday.

"BREAKING: The 'extreme conservative' and Junior Senator from the great state of Utah, @SenatorRomney is formally NOT invited to #CPAC2020," Schlapp wrote in a tweet, which featured a photo of a troubled-looking Romney.

— Matt Schlapp (@mschlapp) January 31, 2020 It is unclear whether Romney was expecting to attend this year's CPAC next month.

Romney recently slammed Trump's critical statements about former national security adviser John Bolton, whom Democratic House impeachment managers have fought to have as a witness. Bolton announced earlier this month he would testify if subpoenaed, and excerpts of his unpublished book have leaked to the press in recent days containing allegations of Trump pressuring Ukraine to help collect information on his political rivals.

“He has made a career of trashing people by tweet,” Romney told the New York Times. “It is part of his shtick, and it’s working for him."

This CPAC news comes after Utah state Republican Rep. Tim Quinn introduced a bill that would allow voters to recall a sitting U.S. senator. Quinn, 56, claimed the bill was unrelated to Romney but said it was a “good mechanism in place to make any senator, current or future, a little more accountable to those who elected him...

“Romney is eying a 2024 run for the white house”

With which party? Because he is politically “dead” in the Republican Party now.

This is what I sent to the RNC:

“As a lifelong Republican and a former Republican House candidate, I insist that we immediately cease all RNC funding and support to Collins and Romney -— ESPECIALLY ROMNEY!!!

I will also be contacting McConnell and asking that they immediately be removed from their Committee positions and any other positions of authority they now hold.”

Many will leave the GOP if McConnell refuses
to remove the backstabber Willard (the rat) Romney.

Hopefully, the GOP will increase their number of senators in the Trump landslide in November, so they will be able to ignore the obnoxious Romney.

If the 17th was dumped, States could require service “on good behavior”.

As it is, States control their election process including who gets on a ballot and what the requirements are.

Require subserviance to the State Legislature.

Federal doesnt mean untouchable.

Eyeing is the only thing he is going to be doing. He is a coward, not a team player and is so dumb he has never figured out that in order to be a leader people have to be willing to follow you.

The GOP needs to run his @$$ across the aisle so he can be with his sicko comrades. Romney is not a Republican and he is definitely NOT an American. Trump’s economy is driving Mittens mad.

Romney should be hounded about this until he cracks and leaves politics.
