SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah Republicans booed Sen. Mitt Romney but ultimately rejected a motion to censure him Saturday for his votes at President Donald Trump’s impeachment trials.

The measure narrowly failed, 798 to 711, in a vote by delegates to the state GOP convention, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.

Romney drew heavy boos when he came to the podium earlier in the day.

Davis County delegate Don Guymon, who authored the resolution, said Romney’s votes to remove Trump from office “hurt the Constitution and hurt the party.”

7. If you do the math, it went down 53% to 47%. There is the magic 47% again, Mitt.

8. The GOP is still powerful: Trump, Fox News... by their lies and gaslighting have made the GOP a cult

and trained their followers to believe outrageous lies with no introspection. Just think 70% of Republicans believe that Trump won the election, but was cheated. The USA itself stands on the brink, should the GOP take back federal power. As it is, they have abandoned reality for the power of propaganda.

9. Trump dragged the GOP into the sewers, and they just love wallowing in it.

They are making no attempts to climb back out. What a disgusting group of liars.
