Petition seeking Romney censure circulating among Utah Republicans
By Justine Coleman - 02/15/21 03:48 PM EST A petition is being circulated among Utah Republicans on social media to censure Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) for his vote to convict former President Trump in last week's Senate impeachment trial.
The petition, first reported by The Salt Lake Tribune, accuses the first-term senator of failing “to represent the average conservative Utah Republican voter†and of having “misrepresented himself as a Republican.â€
“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,†the petition alleges.
The petition, made with Google Forms, does not say who is promoting the censure or how many people have signed the document.
Signatories of the document accuse Romney of having “embarrassed the State of Utah†with his vote to convict Trump on one article of impeachment during his first Senate trial last year.
