Susan Collins ‘appalled’ by booing and censure vote of Mitt Romney | Washington Examiner
Republican Maine Sen. Susan Collins was “appalled” by the Utah GOP’s censure vote on Saturday of Sen. Mitt Romney, who was met by a chorus of boos when he took the stage.
Utah Republicans voted 798-711 to defeat the censure resolution toward the end of the party’s meeting. Romney moved to “remove Trump from office in two illegitimate impeachment trials,” which “hurt the constitution and hurt the party,” said Davis County Del. Don Guymon, who wrote the resolution.
Collins defended Romney on Sunday and said the party should not be helmed by “one person,” potentially referring to former President Donald Trump.
