Romney Uninvited To CPAC For Fear Of His ‘Physical Safety’

Moments after voting with Democrats to call for additional witnesses in the impeachment trial, Republican Sen. Mitt Romney (UT) found himself disinvited from this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) by the event’s organizer. The president of the group has since said in a follow-up explanation about the decision that the senator was disinvited in part out of concern for his “physical safety” at the event.

Romney was the lone Republican to vote guilty on either of the Democrats’ two articles of impeachment against President Trump — in fact, he was the only senator from either party to break ranks at all during the two votes. Ahead of his “guilty” vote, which he described as an act of “an act of conviction,” Romney joined with fellow moderate Republican Sen. Susan Collins (ME) to join Senate Democrats in voting for more witnesses and documents in the trial.
