The organizer of the Conservative Political Action Conference defended his decision to uninvite Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Ut.) — saying his vote for more witnesses and documents in President Trump’s impeachment trial would make him unsafe at the event.
“This year, I’d actually be afraid for his physical safety, people are so mad at him,” American Conservative Union chairman Matt Schlapp said in an interview Saturday on ‘Full Court Press’ with Greta Van Susteren.
“The biggest problem we have with Mitt Romney is not that he’s just an individual following his political course. It’s the fact that he’s lied so continuously to conservatives,” Schlapp added.
Schlapp went on to decry the Utah Republican as disloyal, saying, “When he needed a conservative like Donald Trump to endorse him in his Senate primary last time, he wanted him in. But then, when he gets the Senate job, he wants to distance himself from Trump. He’s a use ’em and lose ’em kind of guy.”
Romney used CPAC as a platform to woo the party’s base as he sought the Republican nomination in 2012, where he labeled himself a “severely conservative governor.”

Romney needs to be frozen out completely.
How about because he is not now and has never been a conservative?
Yeah sure!\s
He was elected governor from the most liberal state in the country. Nuff sed.
No need to apologize, Romney is a traitor to America, banish him and be proud.
That was a stupid thing to say; it can be viewed as a threat. He should have said he wasn’t invited because he’s a back-stabbing Judas and everybody hates his guts.
What do Romney and McCain both have in common?
1. They hate Trump.
2. They pretend to be conservatives.
3. They have a love-hate relationship with the media. They love the media. The media hates them.
4. They BOTH LOST TO OBOZO................
His safety would not be in danger. Conservatives aren’t the crazies in the room. Yelled at, jeered yes. Maybe flipped off at worse. Saying this was fuel for the libs. It’ll be the hot topic on the View, Don Lemon etc. (which really doesn’t mean much...just sayin’)
5. They hate America.
That was probably the stupidest statement I've heard in a while (and as we know, there is no shortage of stupid statements out there these days).
Watch the media use this quote to further justify their ridiculous belief that Trump supporters are the violent ones.
Not enough! Hound him every time he shows his face in public for the rest of his life. He’s a personal and national traitor.
He walks like a penguin!
Yes, because conservatives are so very violent. What a stupid comment.
Like.
That too!.....................
Ever hear of a false flag? It would be an open invitation for Antifa to come in.
It’s the fact that he’s lied so continuously... .................. He has a lot to hide, therefore he must lie to protect any wrong doings he and his fellow Democrats are tied into. One more time! Pelosi, Kerry/Heinz, Biden and Romney, what is the common denominator? (Hint, think Ukraine) (Yeah he’s also a Democrat.)
CPAC Chair should resign. What an idiot.
