WASHINGTON — Utah Sen. Mitt Romney slammed his fellow Republicans for censuring GOP Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for participating in the January 6 committee investigating the riot at the U.S. Capitol.
“Shame falls on a party that would censure persons of conscience, who seek truth in the face of vitriol. Honor attaches to Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for seeking truth even when doing so comes at great personal cost,” Romney tweeted.
The measure, which was voted on Friday, says the party will “immediately cease any and all support of them as members of the Republican Party for their behavior, which has been destructive to the institution of the U.S. House of Representatives, the Republican Party and our republic, and is inconsistent with the position of the conference.”
It comes after an RNC committee chose to re-write the resolution to simply censure the lawmakers instead of expelling them from the Republican House conference altogether. The resolution to censure Cheney and Kinzinger passed the committee vote unanimously on Thursday night.
Cheney and Kinzinger have been two of the most vocal Republicans in their opposition to former President Donald Trump and his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
The House Select Jan. 6 Committee is being led by Democrats after Republican Senators last summer halted an effort to establish a bipartisan and bicameral Sept. 11-style committee to investigate the Jan. 6 riots.
In October, Kinzinger said he would not seek re-election in 2022. Cheney faces an intense primary fight after her opponent received an endorsement from Trump.

Person of conscience? Mitt didn’t you mean person of no conscience?
Romney is a sleazebag.
They are both major anti-Trumpers from the day he became president. Granted they voted yes to some of his polices, but every chance they could they tried to upset what he was trying to accomplish. The only reason they’re on the sham committee is because pelosi but them their. pelosi would not let the Republicans put their choices onto the committee so she assigned the slots to to them sense they will vote whatever pelosi says to.
Ressponding to Ron Reagin , you say Nancy Pelosi and Her husband Are Millionaires and all Nancy Pelosi did was help pass Legislation that these Companies operated under.??
HE wouldn’t know what conscience is, IF IT BIT HIS Nads off…
Excuse me, but he doesn’t have any to bite off even if that were an option which it isn’t for me.
You said that right, Mitt has no conscience.
We’d be glad to add your name to the list, Mitt.
“Honor attaches to Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger for seeking truth even when doing so comes at great personal cost,” ,,,,,,In case Mitt hasn’t noticed, when you align yourself with history and fact manipulating Democrats guilty of two fake impeachments that cost THE PEOPLE more money than even Mitt has accumulated, you do not become part of the solution but part of the problem. He and Liz have more political warts than the teacher John Candy rebuked in the Movie “Uncle Buck”. Trump needs to just toss them a quarter.

Liz Cheney, who has been ousted from the GOP leadership and censured by her own state party, is pulling in huge campaign cash from Democrats across the country. Cheney has been on an anti-Trump mission for years, and she is banking on Democrats to help keep her in Congress.
Is there any doubt that this disgraceful, self-serving, self-righteous, hateful, RINO Liz Cheney is anything but a treasonous Democrat pretending to be a Republican?? 🙁 🙁 🙁
My question is who the heck on this committee is “seeking the truth” about January 6, 2021? Any moron can see this is a witch hunt of the nth degree. If they were seeking the truth they would be investigating the death of Ashli Babbitt (the only casualty of the event), or finding out who exactly is agitator Ray Epps. Mitt, you rock headed idiot, why aren’t you asking these questions yourself if you are so interested in “seeking the truth”? No one else on that lynch mob committee is interested in finding the truth.
SINCE they refuse to release all the VIDEO FOOTAGE from all the security cameras, THEY OBVIOUSLY CARE NOT ABOUT The bloody truth.
I’d be glad to see that RINO on the list!
The biggest enemy, is the enemy within.
Yes indeed!
“Shame falls on a party that would censure persons of conscience, who seek truth in the face of vitriol”. Mitt, shame falls on communists like you, Liz and Adam, as the only truth you seek is the “Pravda truth”!!!!!!!!! There are the “Three Musketeers” and then there are the “Three Traitors”, Adam, Liz and Mitt. It is too bad General Washington is not running things in our Country, because of what General Washington did to traitors!
Shame, falls on those WHO STUPIDLY THOUGHT YOU WERE a conservative, and voted his dumb a&^ into office…
I’m sure the people of Utah realize they’ve been had and plan on correcting that mistake. RINO Romney is also on his way out just like Lizzy and Adam. Too bad the people of Arizona didn’t throw out McCain 30 years ago.
AND it’s because we’ve seen it before, with places LIKE AZ and the like, that i have little faith IN the voters in UTAH correcting their mistake.
My vote for Mitt Romney was the biggest mistake of my voting career. This clown is a mega RINO, and needs to be in his favorite party, The socialist party.
Me too. But in our defense, the alternative was also bad.
When you see that he isn’t any better than obama, was the ‘alternative’ really that much worse>
Took the words right out of my mouth.
Mitt is on his way out himself. He has no room to talk.
Mitt should have been added as well!! You’re on the wrong side of the coin and have been since Donald J Trump Spanked you and insulted you! You’re an elite and you side with per for the rich not to give power back to the people! Were the people that make things happen for the people you justify for you and every other elite out there including Dem.’s and that’s why you should be out of the Republican party! YOUE NOT FOR THE PEOPLE! AND YOU CALL YOU SELF A MAN OF GOD! What a joke!
Romney apparently is still miffed at the Republican Party for his loss to Obama in 2012. Truth is Romney had Obama on the ropes in that first debate, but for some reason, eased off in the remaining chapters. He ran a weak campaign. Blaming the party for his screw up has done nothing for his image and his outright opposition to Trump branded him as a sore-loser. Trump had supported Romney’s Presidential bid but Mitt did not back Trump in ’16; Then had the gall to ask the President to endorse his senate run, which Trump did, only to have “Binders” stab him in the back soon after that election. No one is surprised that Romney would back Chaney & Knizinger or cares. I’m sure any support Romney has is based on his religious affiliation and the remains of McCain’s crowd of misguided fans.
Mitt Romney Rides the waves as all professional politicians who have made a living out of politics and their only motivations are to see which way the political winds are blowing and join in trying to appear that They were always with the winners. This Quote Who’s Author is Unknown explains how the Mitt Romneys, and Liz Chenys motivations are, ” my Politics Like my Religion are The most exceedingly Accomodating Kind ” , In Other Words, They always test the political winds, thats who they’er For….for the moment.
That makes me wonder, HOW DAMN LONG has he been in politics?? 30+ years or so from what i see…
THAT IS WHY I WANT TERM LIMITS!
mitt romney— what a dishonorable unamerican ****-
He certainly is and he probably gave those other two bozos the secret handshake and the protective garment for all the dung that is coming their way!
the cite censored that not me-
Every time you open your mouth Mr. Romney, you just continue confirming what really are.
The real “SHAME” is that you campaign with an “R” beside your name, but then later behave more like a politician with a “D” beside your name! (Just how gullible are the voters in your state??)
You make it quite obvious that you have a very distorted & corrupted view of what true honor, integrity, and conscience are all about. Fake Republicans like you that are not true conservatives, are a disgrace to the Republican party!!
DITTO!
Pity we can’t kick those demented voters, WHO KEEP PUTTING THESE rinos back into office, OUT OF THE republican party RIGHT ALONG SIDE THE RINOS They keep voting for.
I know what you mean.
Mitt is a vile evil POS traitor to We the People
Mitt is a vile evil POS traitor to We the People who should be removed from office
Mitt probably feels the walls closing in.
“Romney slammed his fellow Republicans…”. Excuse me but what ‘fellow Republicans’ would that be? No Conservative can stand to look at his ugly puss, and that goes even for Republicans.
AND that goes for some fellow rinos too…
This demonic humanoid is as far from being a Republican as he is being a person of God. Both as fake as joe biteme’s cognizance tests. The damage these rinos have done like lizard cheney, john mc-anal, mitt rob-me is as great as the devil’s henches nanski peloski, upchuck shumbert, barry odumma, killary clintonista, joe biteme, kamalama hashish, etc They have wounded America as none before them. They are at best: communists, marxists, globalists, anarchists, socialists, atheists, treasonists, traitors – and, at worst, more like demons of satan incarnate. May they recive their reserved seats in Hell – up close to the flames – soon.
Fellow republicans? Never laughed so hard in my life.
UTAH, erase your shame and get rid of Mitsy.
They can correct it, but imo they can’t erase it!
Mitt is the second self anointed “I should be president” Romney bullet that America dodged. The father and son turned out to be blanks that Baldwin wishes were in his gun.
