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 lead to 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."

Romney is trying to flip the Senate. God does not tell you to undermine the American political system.

Hopefully,it will be the last vote you ever make.

It is time for Utah to get rid of this pos.

Conscience? OK, Mittens, do the honorable thing. Resign and stand for re-election on your record. Justify your conduct to your constituents who you deceived into believing you are a Republican, false pretenses.

A quote from a movie I cannot recall the name of: What an A..hole is appropriate.
