Utah GOP vote to censure Mitt Romney fails while senator is booed at convention
CNN
A resolution to censure GOP Sen. Mitt Romney for his two votes to convict former President Donald Trump failed Saturday at the Utah Republican Party organizing convention, where the senator had been booed earlier in the day -- a reflection of the anger that persists among the party's core activists about Trump's impeachment and Romney's frequent criticisms of him throughout his presidency.
The vote failed 711-798, according to Utah Republican Party spokeswoman Lynda Cox. The resolution to censure Romney, which was submitted by Don Guymon, a party delegate from Davis County, was rife with unproven conspiracy theories, including about President Joe Biden and his family. The language of the resolution also alleged that Romney "consistently publicly criticized President Trump" and that his "comments not only hurt President Trump's reelection but hurt other Republicans on the ballot."More Related News
