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."

Yes.

I think we can all agree that he is a piece of shit.

The question is, WHY?

A traitor is hated by his people and hated by those he is selling out to.

Again, WHY?

Repeating the nonsense about “corrupting an election” is an absurd stretch based on the facts here. Asking for an investigation of corrupt people does NOT remotely corrupt an election.

He cannot believe what he’s saying. He is BillKristol2.0

He’s hoping to flip the Senate, he fantasizes a third party to remove Trump and elect a communist. Pure hatred clothed in a false cloak of God.

He’s an open Democrat now.

McConnell should say that the Senators running for President need to recuse themselves for the bias they have against the President.

Derp State Willard the Rat goes full Derp.

And this, kids, is why I’ve spent 14 years on FR railing against this vomitus.

Oh, and Willard, even you know that you have no conscience. Don’t insult us any further by claiming otherwise.

And the hell with your constituents, right Mitt?

Mitt, you’re something I scrape off the bottom of my shoe.

Wife read a story that they want a new silicon valley in Utah, and they need some left wing credentials. He’ll now be welcome at every liberal party.

I think he’s looking to immunize himself from investigation, since he seems to have somewhat involved in Burisma himself. This way he can claim that it’s retribution and unfair.

“Dems got something dirty on Mitt.”

Perhaps, but I think that he is simply a very bitter individual. He tried to become President of the United States and was rejected. He want a position in the Trump administration and was rejected. This is his payback.

When did he decide that he has a conscience? or the ability to just think things through? Doggone. Get rid of this loner.

If Romney survives a RECALL, which I hope and pray gets initiated sooner than later, he will be primaried before being reelected.
