Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, was loudly booed at the Utah Republican party convention – jeered as a “traitor” and a “communist” as he tried to speak.

“Aren’t you embarrassed?” the former 2012 GOP presidential candidate asked the raucous crowd of 2,100 delegates meeting at a convention center in West Valley City, Utah, on Saturday, the Salt Lake City Tribune reported.

Romney was the sole Republican to vote twice to impeach former President Donald Trump – for seeking political dirt on opponents from Ukraine and for inciting the deadly attack at the Capitol on Jan. 6.

“You can boo all you like,” Romney told a restive crowd.

“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 as delegates tried to shout him down with accusations that he was was a “traitor” and “communist.”

Romney defended himself from the jeers by listing his conservative credentials.

"Oh yeah, you can boo all you like, but I've been a Republican all my life,” he said, “My dad was a governor of Michigan, my dad worked for Republican candidates that he believed in. I worked for Republicans across the country and if you don't recall, I was the Republican nominee for President in 2012," Romney said.

“Yeah, I understand I have a few folks who don't like me terribly much and I -- I'm sorry about that. But I express my mind as I believe is right and I follow my conscience as I believe is right," Romney said— getting both boos and cheers, CNN reported.

Romney defended himself from the jeers by listing his conservative credentials.

1. “I’ve been a Republican all my life”
2. “My dad was a governor of Michigan
3. “My dad worked for Republican candidates that he believed in.”
4. “I worked for Republicans across the country.”
5. “I was the Republican nominee for President in 2012”

NOT ONE of those is a “conservative credential.” Anything associated with “Republican” is certainly NOT conservative.

He sure sounds like he has a mighty thin skin.

Romit dissing Trumps “character issues”???? How cute. He needs to remove the log from his eyes before he criticizes the speck in Trump’s eyes

That’s how I thought Pence would be greeted on his first outing but he wasn’t.

Dear Mitt;

If you act like a jackass, don’t be surprised when someone tells you to go to your stall with the other jackasses.

[liberalh8ter]

Mitt is sounding like Obama...I, my, me. Someone please remind Mitt he's the voice of his constituents, not, I, me, my.

My dad was a governor of Michigan, my dad worked for Republican candidates that he believed in. I worked for Republicans across the country and if you don't recall, I was the Republican nominee for President in 2012

and you know I was not a fan of our last president’s character issues

Incredible. So it's much better we have Demo baby killers in office. What an utter moron.

I’m not a fan of Pence, but I wouldn’t put him in the same category as Mittens. Romney is in an entirely different class of political weasel, intentionally adopting and spewing the phony narratives of the left in order to curry favor with the Dem/media establishment with whom his heart has always been (even if they certainly didn’t love him back in 2012).

Getting boos from members of his own party in his home State -- he's the one who should be embarrassed.

“for seeking political dirt on opponents from Ukraine”

please note:

“Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech or of the press”

DJT was one of the largest distributors of information in the USA and DJT and his operatives had the constitutional right to seek to discover the truth from any source, including a foreign government.

I regret having voted for that backstabbing POS back in 2012. I don’t care who he runs against, if he were the nominee again, I’ll be casting my vote elsewhere.

We MUST stop re-electing Assistant Democrats.

Sadly he won’t get the message. He excuses the scene as being done by ‘only a few people. He thinks he’s still liked generally. That is how out of touch with reality he is. Next he will be saying ‘please clap’
