Utah Republican Party Embraces teh Crazy

(Salt Lake Tribune) On Saturday, Sen. Mitt Romney joined 6 other Republicans in joining to convict former President Donald Trump for inciting the riot that led to his supporters attacking the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

Within 24 hours of that vote, a petition to censure Romney started making the rounds in some Utah Republican social media circles. You may remember the Utah Republican Party State Central Committee wanted to censure Romney after he voted to convict Trump in his first impeachment trial last year but opted instead to praise the former president.

A tipster sent along a link to the proposed censure of Romney and it's...something. Here's a taste:

Whereas; Senator Willard Mitt Romney misrepresented himself as a Republican.

Whereas; Senator Willard Mitt Romney has prioritized his personal and political vendetta against President Donald J. Trump ahead of the Constitution of the United States, the interest of We, the People, and the advancement of the Republican Platform.

....(snip)....

Here's the kicker:

Whereas, Senator Williard Mitt Romney appears to be an agent for the Establishment Deep State. .............(more)

Donnie has few fans among Mormons. Then again, that might be old conventional wisdom and no longer applicable. Should be interesting, regardless.

All people have to know about how it would be if the GOP ruled the country is to see how the party treats it's own politicians.
