Romney says he had to follow 'conscience' on vote to convict Trump, expects ‘enormous consequences’

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."

You’re damned right there are enormous consequences, traitor.

I’m sure you figured your in-kind 30 pieces of silver in the form of momentary adoration by MSNBC and CNN are worth it. It will be fleeting, and you will be cast aside once you’re no longer of use to them.

GFY, Romney.

It is the last decision I want to take.

Hopefully the voters will have a voice in that.

“had to follow my conscience”

...”which I had previously sold to “donors”, with things they need to hide in their own Ukrainian dealings.”

Guess he buried his head in a hat with his lucky rock in it to interpret the response he should give.

Pierre was bull schiffing us when he said he needed more witnesses and documents to make up his mind. He knew his decision all along.

He’s already under a deception thinking he needs his msgic underwear. He isn’t capable of receiving truth. He’s been blinded.

It is why he ran for the senate in the first place. I’m sure he and Nancy and Chucky had a nice talk , made plans and Soros wired the money. From the fun to use to McCain with.

Romney is a disgusting piece of crap.

The only thing he’s following is political ambition.
