Mitt Romney was lustily booed by the more than 2,100 Republican delegates who packed into the Maverik Center on Saturday for the party’s state convention.
“Aren’t you embarrassed?” said Romney trying to deflect the chorus of catcalls that greeted him as he took the stage.
“I’m a man who says what he means, and you know I was not a fan of our last president’s character issues,” said Romney as delegates attempted to shout him down. Accusations that Romney was a “traitor” or “communist” flew from the crowd like so many poison darts.
The cacophony of disapproval only ended after outgoing party chair Derek Brown scolded delegates to “show respect” for Romney.
“You can boo all you like,” said Romney. “I’ve been a Republican all of my life. My dad was the governor of Michigan and I was the Republican nominee for president in 2012.”

“A smattering of boos.” LOL

Just like Tim Scott they have to start out with saying Bidens a good man.
How is it Trump was attacked by all these people, but they all like Joe Biden and believe in his goodness?

Sorry about the double...
If he had an ounce of integrity he would resign.
At that time, the Straw Poll was considered to be the first competitive contest for potential Republican presidential candidates in 1996.
Arlen Specter, a fake Republican Senator from Pennsylvania, decided that the Republican Party could not survive without him, so he announced - or tried to announce - his candidacy at the Straw Poll.
He was literally booed off the stage.
A big crowd, too - like 15,000 people, almost all of them booing.
That was an exhilarating experience I will never forget!
Good...
My parenTs/grandparents/aunts/uncles, Republicans all,had no use for Romney SR.
Quite uncanny, is it not? I'd vote for the muppet.
“Show respect” for Romney?
Dumbass Derek Brown and Nitwitt Mitt both deserve a size 18 boot planted in their a**!
