CPAC Bans Mitt Romney From Attending Annual Event After His Impeachment Vote To Support Witnesses
If Romney is angling for the GOP nomination in 2024, he’s going about it the wrong way…

(TNS) For a Republican senator, Mitt Romney of Utah is doing a very good impression of a Democrat, and conservatives are signaling they are tiring of his Jeff Flake impression.
The #NeverTrumper alienated himself from conservatives even further on Friday when he cast his lot with Democrats and voted for witnesses to appear at President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial.
The vote was too much for one of the country’s premier right-leaning organizations, the Conservative Political Action Committee, or CPAC.
According to the Washington Times:
The Conservative Political Action Committee formally disinvited the Utah Republican from its high-profile conference next month, after he voted in favor of new witnesses in President Trump’s impeachment trial.
“BREAKING: The ‘extreme conservative’ and Junior Senator from the great state of Utah, @SenatorRomney is formally NOT invited to #CPAC2020,” tweeted Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union.
Mr. Romney has attended CPAC in the past. In 2012, as he successfully campaigned for the GOP presidential nomination, he used the word “conservative” 25 times in his 26-minute speech at the conference.
The only other Republican to vote for new witnesses in the impeachment trial was Sen. Susan Collins of Maine.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the senior senator from Utah, former Tea Party favorite Mike Lee, stuck up for Romney.
“Mitt Romney is a good friend and an excellent Senator,” Lee tweeted. “We have disagreed about a lot in this trial. But he has my respect for the thoughtfulness, integrity, and guts he has shown throughout this process. Utah and the Senate are lucky to have him.”
Apparently, that is not an opinion shared by all Utah conservatives.

Make his existence toast. He should be publicly humiliated at any opportunity! From now on when you take a shit it should be called a ROMNEY. OSTRACIZE THIS SCUM BAG.
Romney should have never been elected to the Senate. And I am starting to think Mike Lee needs to go too. Utah you are harming the rest of the country with your voting habits.
