Salt Lake City — Utah Gov. Gary Herbert says he does not support a state lawmaker’s push to censure U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney over his vote to convict in the president’s impeachment trial. Herbert, a Republican, said in a statement Friday that Romney voted in accordance with his conscience after hearing all the evidence in the trial, and his decision does not warrant censure. The position signals a roadblock for the effort to rebuke Romney amid a wave of Republican anger directed at the party’s former presidential nominee. The resolution would show the senator that other members of his party were unhappy with his vote

Conscience? Don't make me laugh. First he says there must be witnesses because there are too many unknowns for him to determine guilt or innocence. Then when no witnesses happen, suddenly he has enough info to vote for one of the articles? He's a loser and most likely a liar. Or a very, very, very confused, ignorant and waffling politician who holds grudges and votes based on emotions like jealousy and bitterness. Because he's never going to be president.

The conscience story is BS. Mitt is a rotten little punk, and jealous of Trump succeeding where he failed. He is a nasty, cowardly backstabber who covers his nasty deeds with stories of piety.
A thoroughly disgusting little man.

You don't have to be a smart person to see that the articles and the way they were investigated in committees should have told the vindictive buffoon, Romney, to not join into the illegitimate offering to the Senate. Mitt gave and offered himself to the stupid democrat scam when he should have stayed with his party. In a word Mitt Romney blew it and joined the silly ranks of the Adam Schiff crowd, not too clever Mittens. Down right stupid and dumb move you went from a Mormon to a moron in with your vote.

His vote against Trump was based on bitterness and spite.

I would boycott Utah starting right now, if I hadn't already started when they elected this carpetbagger.

The Utah cult once again proves how anti American Utah is. No wonder congress granted them only a small state instead of the entire western US they originally wanted. What a worthless group of people.

That's right governor, keep pushing to protect the RINO. Ignore the residents of your state at your peril governor. I have never seen your state party in such an uproar as it it at the moment. Pierre Delecto is going to be a stain on your legacy Governor, and you better start thinking about your own future instead of protecting a sleaze like Romney. I guarantee that he would have no problem throwing you under the bus if he could.

Our governor is a never Trumper open border shill. Utah republicans have the absolute worst representation . Herbert and Romney are rotten to the core and Lee has completely sold out to the open borders lobby. Bah, a pox on all their houses.

Romney's kid is in on the Ukraine energy scam and I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that Herbert has been taking money from China.

Hopefully, some day Mitt will tell us where the 'pressure' words in the phone transcript are.

how is the governor's disagreement for censure, a roadblock???? Stupid AP reporters lie again.
If the Utah legislature chooses to censure romney, the governor can't 'roadblock' it.
I'm really fed up with the AP.
