Mitt Romney Says He’ll Vote To Convict Trump

You thought Nancy Pelosi had torn Washington apart, along with her copy of the State of the Union address.

He returned to his party’s side to acquit Trump of the second article, obstruction of Congress.

“I am sure to hear abuse from the president and his supporters,” Romney said in his emotional speech on the Senate floor Wednesday, explaining that his faith and his conscience drove him to cast the dissenting vote.
