 [NYPOST] A crowd of over 2,000 GOP delegates booed "traitor" Willard Mitt Romney, aka Pierre Delecto
...former governor of Massachussetts, the Publican nominee for president in 2012, now Senator from Utah. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals. He is currently a trans Republican and a member in good standing of the Never Trump Party, attempting to assume the mantle of the late John McCain...
Saturday as the Utah senator addressed his party’s 2021 state convention, where a censure over his two impeachment votes narrowly failed to pass.
"Aren’t you embarrassed?" Romney said as he was greeted with a chorus of catcalls when he took the stage at the Maverik Center in West Valley City, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.
"I’m a man who says what he means, and you know I was not a fan of our last president’s character issues," said Romney, who was loudly reminded that he was the only Republican senator to vote to convict former President Donald Trump
 ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
in his first impeachment, and one of seven to vote to convict in the second impeachment following the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.
Delegates tried to shout Romney down, calling him a "traitor" and "communist."
Romney, 74, stood his ground. "You can boo all you like," the former governor of Massachusetts said. "I’ve been a Republican all of my life. My dad was the governor of Michigan and I was the Republican nominee for president in 2012."
The party rejected a motion, 798-711, to censure Romney for his pair of impeachment votes.
