Utah County Votes To Censure Romney Over Impeachment Vote

Mitt Romney

Over the weekend, Utah’s Weber County Republican party passed a resolution to censure Utah Sen. Mitt Romney (R) for voting to convict former President Trump in two impeachment trials “without evidence of a federal crime or misdemeanor.”

The resolution states, “At the first impeachment trial, on February 5, 2020, without evidence of a federal crime or misdemeanor and ignoring the unconstitutional House impeachment process, Utah’s junior U.S. Senator Mitt Romney was the lone Republican voting with the Senate Democrats to convict Pres. Trump, becoming the first Senator in 231 years of U.S. presidential history to vote against a President of his own party in an impeachment trial.”

“On January 13, 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives passed an article of impeachment claiming that President Trump had incited an insurrection against the U.S. government, without any evidence to prove he incited violence, given that President Trump had, on January 6th , asked his supporters to ‘peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard’ and that the FBI had concluded that the occupation of the Capitol building by the rioters had been pre-planned in advance of the President’s speech,” the resolution continues.

“On January 26, 2021, after President Trump had concluded his term and left office, Sen. Romney voted together with all of the Senate Democrats to proceed with an unconstitutional Senate show trial (at which the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court refused to preside) on the House’s article of impeachment,” the resolution continues. “And, on February 13, 2021, Sen. Romney voted together with all of the Senate Democrats to convict Donald Trump on the House’s impeachment charge.”

“Republicans in the other six States from which Republican Senators voted to convict President Trump have held their Senators accountable for their wrongful votes,” The resolution says. “The Utah Republican Party Platform requires us to hold elected leaders accountable to ethical standards, and voting to convict a former President without sufficient evidence to prove any of the elements of the charge of incitement of insurrection is both unjust and unethical.”

The resolution to censure Romney was passed just a week after he was booed off stage at a GOP convention in his home state, where 2/3 of Republicans disapprove of him.
