Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) on Tuesday defended House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) as the Wyoming Republican faces intense blowback over her sharp criticisms of former President Donald Trump.
Romney wrote of Cheney on social media: “Every person of conscience draws a line beyond which they will not go: Liz Cheney refuses to lie. As one of my Republican Senate colleagues said to me following my impeachment vote: ‘I wouldn’t want to be a member of a group that punished someone for following their conscience.'”
On Monday, Cheney said anyone alleging that the 2020 presidential election was stolen is “poisoning our democratic system” — a direct rebuke of Trump, who declared hours prior that the outcome of the last election would be known moving forward as “THE BIG LIE!”
“The 2020 presidential election was not stolen,” Cheney tweeted of the former president’s remark. “Anyone who claims it was is spreading THE BIG LIE, turning their back on the rule of law, and poisoning our democratic system.”

Humping each other’s leg.
Do Romney, Cheney and their ilk think WE really believe they are doing things out of “conscience”?
Nah. They know we know they are liars and plutocrats, putting on a show.
And apparently whatever they get is well worth being loathed and despised.
What the hell does “person of conscience” have to do with Trump Hate and loathing for Conservative values?
Mitt needs someone else with him next time he’s getting booed off the stage
Legacy politician rats.
You couldn’t find 2% of conscience if you combined Romney and Cheney together! These two would take a piece of silver each to give up Jesus Christ if they also got to be on the front page of the newspaper!
Who in the H3LL does Mitt think he is kidding?!?
<< despised across the political spectrum except for the narrow sliver occupied by Chamber of Commerce Republicans. >>
Yes, and perpetual war-advocating neocon Republicans.
“What the hell does “person of conscience” have to do with ...”
A conscience is nice to have but if reality doesn’t underlie it then it’s of no value.
When it comes to Mitt Romney and Liz Cheny, I am pulling for Stage 4 cancer.
Mitt Romney, the least ‘person of conscience’ ever!
Mitt is basically one of those corporate CEOs who are falling all over themselves now to be “woke.” There’s not much more to him than that.
Two peas in a pod.
If only Mittens had defended himself like this in 2008. Time for Candy Crowley to shut him up again.
It’s our conscience vs. her conscience; so let’s discuss the issues.
RINOS sticking together! Surprise Surprise not.
Does Mittens ever give himself a rest from being such an idiot?
