Republican Maine Sen. Susan Collins was "appalled" by the Utah GOP's censure vote on Saturday of Sen. Mitt Romney, who was met by a chorus of boos when he took the stage.
Utah Republicans voted 798-711 to defeat the censure resolution toward the end of the party's meeting. Romney moved to "remove Trump from office in two illegitimate impeachment trials," which "hurt the constitution and hurt the party," said Davis County Del. Don Guymon, who wrote the resolution.
Collins defended Romney on Sunday and said the party should not be helmed by "one person," potentially referring to former President Donald Trump.
“I was appalled," Collins told CNN's Jake Tapper of the censure vote and jeering. "Mitt Romney is an outstanding senator who serves his state and our country well."
She continued: "We Republicans need to remember that we are united by fundamental principles such as belief in personal responsibility, individual freedom, opportunity, free markets, a strong national defense. Those are the principles that unite us. We are not a party that is just led by one person. There are many prominent, upcoming, younger men and women in our party who hold great promise for leading us."
Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, a Trump critic, was another prominent Republican who faced backlash from her party after she was seen elbow-bumping President Joe Biden ahead of his first congressional address Wednesday.
Collins backed Cheney, who told her colleagues that she and Biden are not "sworn enemies."
"Liz Cheney is a woman of strength and conscience, and she did what she thought was right, and I salute her for that," Collins said. "We need to be accepting of differences in our party. We don’t want to become like too much of the Democratic Party, which has been taken over by the progressive left."

Hey Suzie, you little RINO turncoat...
you’re NEXT.
Well, if Susie is appalled, I guess I should feel bad for smiling each time I watch the clip of Romney’s appearance.
If he was a "Republican" Senator from Massachusetts instead of Utah it might be more tolerable.
Mittens allowed Owens to be bad mouthed and treated horribly by all those Hod fearing Mormons
They need to rtecognioze the ruling class and give them proper respect.. :(
Mormons love Mitt... He comes from a founding Mormon family... Some in Utah believe Mitt fulfills Joseph Smiths White Horse prophecy .. ...
On point !!
I agree
It’s historical succcess is way way overrated by talk radio which btw is part of the problem
Start new
Her appalled is nothing compared to the appalled towards her.
‘
Lindsey G and McCarthy don’t really care what the people think. America First people don’t have a voice in the Media, and they plan on running Tim Scott and Nikki Haley and shaming peeps into voting for them.
They had no problem destroying the Tea Party.
In short, the Elites have little concern about the Populous.

Like one of the state committees did in Georgia - they voted the bums out, but then the leadership of the committee just chose to ignore the vote.
“I was appalled," Collins told CNN's Jake Tapper of the censure vote and jeering. "Mitt Romney is an outstanding senator who serves his state and our country well."
The plan was obviously to interview Mittens after he gave a speech and have him talk about how well-received his assholery against President Trump was received, and tie that into the fake polls from the past week and build a faker Narrative.
Instead they had to send a town car to get Collins out of bed -- the old dirty hump -- and have her complain about the booing!
So it worked! THE BOOING WORKED! THOSE UTAH LUNG-STRONG DESTROYED THE WEEKEND MSM NARRATIVE!! MORE PUSHBACK! MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE!
Mitt & Susan...
Like Bobbsey twins...
Im APPALLED by HER!
Mitt Romney is a Uniparty swamp creature.
You have to keep trying !
also sounds like grounds for law suit !
Sue has a great view of things from her limo and luxury flat.
Susan Collins needs to wake the f*** up! RINOS are an endangered species.
