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.”

Let no one forget the Mitt Romney wrote Romneycare socialized healthcare for Massachusetts which became Obamacare except with a different cover page.

Mitt Romney is a Uniparty swamp creature.

“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 ...

Character issues? What does that even mean? The DS tried to destroy Trump from day one. Trump fought for the people and stayed amazingly true to his campaign promises.

Quite uncanny, is it not? I’d vote for the muppet.

One is a puppet. One is a muppet.

"Mittens was brainwashed by his daddy."

It's hereditary.

[right way right]

That word ‘character’ I don’t thing Mitt knows what it means.

[Truth29]

"What an arrogant POS."

Yes he is, but the censure motion failed. I don't think Utah is going to do anything about him.
