Power to the people! This action came just about as quickly as it possibly could have. Utah Republicans have used social media to circulate a petition to censure Senator Mitt Romney, R-Utah, for voting to convict President Donald J. Trump in last week’s Senate impeachment trial, as reported by Charlie McCarthy on Newsmax.
The petition accuses Romney of failing “to represent the average conservative Utah Republican voter” and of having “misrepresented himself as a Republican,” per The Hill.
“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,” said the petition, first reported by The Salt Lake Tribune.
Romney, who will be up for re-election in 2024, joined six other Republican senators in voting to convict Trump on a charge of inciting an insurrection. President Trump, however, was acquitted after the Senate failed to reach the required two-thirds majority.
The petition accused Romney of having “embarrassed the State of Utah” with his guilty vote against Trump on one article of impeachment during last year’s Senate trial, in which he became the first U.S. senator in history to vote to convict a president of his own party.
With his vote last Saturday, Romney violated Trump’s ‘1st, 4th, 5th and 14th Amendment Rights,” according to the petition.
“Senator Willard Mitt Romney has condoned false and misleading statements that have led the 117th Congress of the United States to further conduct an illegal and unconstitutional 2nd Impeachment proceeding against President Donald J. Trump,” it continued.
From other corners of the country, the Louisiana Republican Party 
censured Senator Bill Cassidy, R-La.; several county-level GOP parties censured Senator Pat Toomey, R-Pa.; and Senator Richard Burr, R-N.C., was expected to be the subject of a censure vote Monday by the North Carolina Republican Party. All for their votes to convict Trump.
What say you Def-Con News readers? I say, Don’t let the doors hit you in the asses, boys. And girls too. Murkowski comes up for reelection defeat in November 2022. But Collins’ term doesn’t end until 2027. Perhaps the people of Maine will recall her.
Final note of advice: Seek revenge and you should dig two graves, one for yourself. –Confucious.
