Mitt Romney, the junior senator from Utah, was the only Republican senator who refused to endorse Mike Lee.
Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee captured a third term Tuesday night after his same-state GOP colleague in the upper chamber de facto backed Lee’s challenger, a Democrat masquerading as an independent.
Mitt Romney, the junior senator from Utah, was the only Republican senator who refused Lee an endorsement against failed 2016 third-party presidential candidate Evan McMullin. In April, Romney told Politico his refusal to endorse in the contest was due to having “two friends” in the race.
“I don’t get involved in primaries and I don’t endorse,” Romney said, despite attending a fundraiser for Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney days later. Cheney went on to lose her August primary by more than 36 points to Wyoming attorney Harriet Hageman. And had many Democrat voters not changed their party registration to support Cheney in the GOP contest, her losing margins would have been far wider.
McMullin ran as a self-proclaimed independent but pulled the endorsement of the Democrats in April as the party’s official candidate and solicited donations through ActBlue. His campaign, funded by Democrats, became nearly indistinguishable from Democrats in other states, considering his pro-abortion platform and hyperventilating about democracy supposedly being in danger if Republicans won. On the debate stage in October, McMullin fabricated charges against Lee, saying the incumbent had conspired with the White House to hijack the Electoral College and turn the 2020 election for President Donald Trump.
“I think you knew how important it was when you sought to urge the White House that had lost an election to find fake electors to overturn the will of the people,” McMullin said. “Sen. Lee, that was the most egregious betrayal of our nation’s Constitution in its history by a U.S. senator, I believe, and it will be your legacy.”
An honest examination of events, however, reveals McMullin was lying.

Wow! Romney needs to get thrown to the curb next election! What a disgrace that clown is!
Just bewilders me Utah keeps re-electing this used car salesman. Utah, help us out will ya. Vote Romney out of office.
What’s wrong with Mitt? Mormon underwear too tight?
We haven’t heard the last of McMuffin.................
Voters in that State need to demand something better than Mutt and his cohort McMuffin.
They are a disgrace.
Romney and McMuffin report to different masters than their constituents and party/country and always will and the interests of those masters align occasionally but always take precedence
Maybe “Mittens” will get the hint and retire early. Utah could only hope.
I don’t understand Romney at all.
Why is he such an ass?.............................
He’s still mad that Trump gave him an atomic wedge with those magic panties at that meeting in Trump tower
Utah voters officially became the dumbest people in America when they decided to give one of their two Senate seats to Massachusetts.
Hopefully the wheels are starting to turn a bit with somebody in Utah to launch a primary run against Mittens in 24.
Pierre Delecto has turd smeared ll over his face.
Who will clean him up?He stinks so bad its impossible.
We will hopefully run a MAGA candidate against Mitt the Twit in 2024.
Goodbye Pierre Delecto.
Sand in his vagina.
Excellent graphic! I hope the people of Utah wake up and send this jerk to Devil's Island! What a self serving megalomaniac!
Hopefully the people of Utah remember and send mittens packing next go round.
