More than two thousand Utah Republicans booed Senator Mitt Romney as he arrived to speak at a convention in his home state on Saturday.The vocal backlash came after Romney narrowly avoided censure by the Utah GOP over his votes during the two impeachment trials of President Donald Trump. 'Aren't you embarrassed?' said Romney in response to the catcalling as he walked onto the stage. 'I'm a man who says what he means, and you know I was not a fan of our last president's character issues,' he said. Shouts of 'traitor' or 'communist' could be heard from the crowd.
That's proof he is a Dem. You can't insult him.

The non media loves him that’s his goal. He has problems with Trumps character issues? Someone please ask him him his opinion of Biden! Romney, Bush & Rove are so boring.

He is a man wholly without Honor, and as such deserves no attention whatsoever other than condemnation!

The people who should be embarrassed are the Utah GOP who didn't censure him. They should have sent a message, instead, they simply gave him a light little slap on the hand. No Balls in the GOP! McCarthy couldn't Censure Liz Cheney and remove her from her Leadership positions. Another No Balls person who should be relieved of HIS Leadership. Does anyone think Nancy Pelosi wouldn't bring down the Hammer on anyone in her Caucus that didn't toe the line!! The GOP had better wake up and play Hardball with those RINOS in Congress!

They didn't boo because he said they could. Boo all you like meant he couldn't stop them from booing with all his thank yous to the clowns standing up and clapping for his pathetic carcass.

#6 is correct. However, Romney is not the problem. Romney is a Democrat. The GOP is the problem. The GOP hates Conservatives more than it dislikes the Left. Winning elections with RINOs is not winning at all.

A resounding "hear. hear" - - to #6 and #9. Gutless Pubbies cause their own problems - - and deserve thunderstorms of disdain.
If only all of the Pubbie leadership were like Fightin' Roy Blunt!

So he cared about “character issues” but not about the future of the country and the successes of ALL of PDT’s policies? I call BS. “Character issues” was just his excuse to save his own arse when all the while he is just one more traitorous demonrat worm.

The only reason he's a Senator now is because he chose Utah to represent. People who don't live here have no idea how much influence a certain religion has in this state. IMHO, the primary was rigged and then in the general election, it was either him or a Democrat, so he was the lesser of two evils and he barely beat out the Democrat. Everyone I know can't stand him and there are billboards all over requesting his resignation. 2024 can't come fast enough so we can get rid of him.

I think the crowd was also saying what they mean. They have principles too.

"Boo all you like"
What's that Mitt? You don't need Republican support? The fix is already in? Sign a contract with Dominion? Depending on Utah Republican party officials to keep you in when you lose in the primaries (just like last time)?
GTH, Mitt. You represent everything that is wrong with our government.

If your still watching Fox and depending on the Republican Party to save the Republic, I have lost all respect for you. You are doubling down on stupid and I can’t stand with you any more. Your pathetic. You can’t MAGA and be impotent slaves at the same time.
New Party Now!

"Narrowly avoids censure..." That's what still worries me about the GOP. How could a majority at the convention possibly vote NOT to censure this weasel?

This man lacks humility. He believes that his character is far superior to Donald Trump's character. I remember when Trump's character wasn't of importance to him. When he wanted Trump's endorsement in his election, and he wanted it publicly. He and his wife stood on the stage in Las Vegas beaming with delight that Trump was endorsing him. And then, as Trump has said, he disappeared never to be seen again. He thought he didn't need to work for every vote, it was beneath him.

Can you imagine the arrogance it takes to tell the people you supposedly serve to "boo all you want?" He's saying, in other words, I don't care what you want, I'm going to do what I want regardless of your wishes because I know better than you worthless rubes.

The creeps at Fox News wrote an entirely different story, not saying the censure vote was close and saying Romney finished the speech strong.

Let's hope this is the beginning of a trend to dump this sort of nasty, worthless RINO from the party.

Well, Mittens, that certainly sounds like a challenge. Hopefully conservatives everywhere will take him up and that and make sure that his life is a living hell every time he tries to speak publicly anywhere!!!!

The crowd does not need permission to boo all they like, Romney. You cannot seem to get that people want to run their own lives, and not have them ran by you, arrogant one.
