Senator Mitt Romney speaks to reporters upon arrival to the U.S. Capitol for the SenatePhoto by Mario Tama/Getty Images: Utah Senator Mitt Romney on Wednesday voted to convict President Donald Trump of abuse of power, making him the only Republican to break with the party on the impeachment vote, which ultimately ended in an acquittal., adding the president was “guilty of an appalling abuse of public trust.
In a speech on the Senate floor ahead of the vote, Romney emphasized his that his faith as a devout Mormon was an important factor in his decision, saying that he made a promise to God “to deliver impartial justice.” He said he believed the president abused his power by withholding military aid to pressure Ukraine into conducting investigations into the Bidens that would benefit him politically, and that Trump’s actions were “a flagrant assault on our electoral rights, our national security and our fundamental values.”
Romney said he was pressured by other Republicans to “fall in line with the team,” but he said his promise to God outweighed his personal and political considerations.

rachsandl What a wimp
rachsandl Get rid of him
rachsandl I’m so happy Romney didn’t win in 2012. just for the record, this is more about Trump not selecting him to the Secretary of State position. Mitt wanted it, but Trump told insiders he couldn’t trust Romney. Turns out he was spot on.
