Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who voted twice to convict former President Trump on impeachment charges, is ruling out voting for Trump in 2024, citing a court’s finding that the former president sexua…
I suppose he acquitted Trump because the events of Jan 6th weren’t gay enough. Shirtless shaman guy got Sen. Romney slightly aroused but it didn’t quite meet the bar for his tastes. /s
[Note update: He voted to acquit trump on only 1 of 3 charges]
So you’re correct in a 2/3 majority way, kinda like we should have had in the impeachment trials if our legislators were as interested in democracy as we are, lol.

If memory serves, Romney voted to convict on both impeachments.
You know, you said that and I couldn’t remember, so I looked it up.
In the first impeachment trial, there were two charges. Fifty-two Republican senators voted against the charge of abuse of power, and all fifty-three voted against the charge of obstruction of Congress. Romney only voted to convict on the abuse of power charge, not the obstruction charge.
In the second trial, there was only one charge, incitement of insurrection, and Romney was one of the seven Republican senators who voted to convict.
So you’re correct in a 2/3 majority way, kinda like we should have had in the impeachment trials if our legislators were as interested in democracy as we are, lol.
Alright I concede that 2/3 is a passing grade, Romney.
He did, both times.
