Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah has always been an honorable and decent guy, even, apparently, back when he was being blamed for a person dying of cancer in 2012.
All it took for the news media to see that was for him to vote with Democrats on impeachment.
On Wednesday, Romney became the only Republican member of the Senate to vote "guilty" on either of the impeachment charges brought against President Trump. The upper chamber of Congress voted, anyway, to acquit the president, but not before the press declared Romney a true hero of the republic.
It is difficult to get into the nitty-gritty of whether the praise is deserved because it is basically impossible to overlook the fact that the applause comes mostly from the same people who did everything they could in 2012 to destroy Romney’s character and reputation. In 2012, as Romney sought to oust President Barack Obama from the White House, the Washington Post editorial board accused the Republican nominee not once, but twice of being a contemptuous schemer and suggesting he clearly hoped the electorate he disdained would be stupid enough to vote for him.
