Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, told Fox News' Chris Wallace Wednesday in an exclusive interview that he "had to follow my conscience" in deciding to vote to convict President Trump on abuse of power, a decision that's likely to lead to serious blowback from Trump and others in the Republican Party.
"I believe that the act he took, an effort to corrupt an election is as destructive an attack on the oath of office and our Constitution as I can imagine," Romney said. "It is a high crime and misdemeanor within the meaning of the Constitution, and that is not a decision I take lightly. It is the last decision I want to take."

He should be shunned and never be on any committees ever again. Let him lick schumers butt from now on.
I guess Manchin and Sinema are going to make us wait until the actual vote.
I wonder what Orin Hatch is thinking about now.
Maybe Utah will be successful in passing the law giving them the right to recall a setting US Senator and he will be gone before his term is up.
Yup. This is as bad as Roberts saving 0bozocare.
I think he is convinced of it.
One thing a religious path should teach one is to not mistake one's own thinking chatter for the still quiet voice of God. When one does this, and has a high opinion of one's thinking, that is, mistakes it for God's voice, this is what leads to people legitimately mistaking themselves for prophets or chosen ones.
At least con artists know who they are, and may even know who God is. You - you confuse the two. Mitt, I'm afraid, is not aware that while he may be sincerely following A voice, it is his own original sin masquerading as God. Mistaking one's own voice for God is a fundamental problem with Humans. Mitt has always had this problem - it explains his smug self regard.
This is very sad when a man thinks so highly of himself that he mistakes himself for something resembling God.
And so he very proudly and arrogantly, though he may not know it is pride and arrogance, sees himself as a humble follower of God bearing the difficult burden of being such a faithful son. It is a corollary affliction to playing to the victim game ... a mix of that and martyrdom.
It does humanity no good. Go away Mitt - until you realize it is you that you are worshipping, go mend shoes or paint houses - there you may praise yourself for your great honest works without hurting anyone - stop infecting the country with your delusion.
A con man at least knows what he is, and he may even know who God is. With Mitt, the twain are conflated, and so he knows neither.
His god lives on the planet Kolob.
I don't think so...it tells us all we need to know about Romney.
I believe he has hatred in his heart.
Same reason various Greek traitors went rogue and deserted to their enemies - seeking retribution after being denied what they thought as their just desserts. High positions, power, et cetera - they thought themselves entitled to them simply because of who they are and their people rejected that idea. So they must get revenge.
Then resign.
Bingo.
Looks like Sinema is a convict on both charges.
Now we have to wait on Manchin.
He must be channeling McCain.
Mitt’s family was at the Ukrainian trough and other national scams as well.
Why? Because he hates Trumps guts. Romney sees himself as the ultra smooth presidential type who should have been president. Donald Trump is opposite of him, yet loved by millions. He’s a self centered elitist. The very definition of GOPe.
Somebody who has to use a fake Twitter account with the name Pierre Delecto has a “conscience”?
You have a few more decisions to take:
- where to spend your thirty pieces of silver
- what tree to hang yourself from?
why are people surprised. I have known this for weeks.
At this rate, he may become the Rat nominee at their brokered convention this year.
