Utah lawmaker files bill to censure Mitt Romney over Trump impeachment vote

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A rural Utah lawmaker is asking his colleagues to send a message of support to President Donald Trump by voting to censure Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah.

Romney joined Senate Democrats Wednesday in voting to convict Trump for abuse of power and remove the president from office. He was the only Republican to break ranks with his party during the impeachment process.

Rep. Phil Lyman, R-Blanding, on Thursday announced that he had filed a resolution to censure Romney, saying the senator’s judgment was questionable even if his motives were pure.

Lyman told reporters he believes Romney obeyed his conscience in voting to convict the president and respects a politician who’s willing to “go against the grain.” That said, Romney’s “attacks” on the president, including his support for calling witnesses to testify in the impeachment trial, have been harmful to the Republican Party and the country, Lyman argued.

Please proceed. I imagine that Mitt Romney is more a favorite son than you or Trump are.

3. Censuring for casting a vote

Wow this is what the GOP has come to?? They won’t censure someone who’s paid off porn stars from the Oval Office, had 10 instances of obstruction listed or held up foreign aid for political gain. But if you side with the Democrats that’s going too far.
