CPAC doesn’t want Sen. Mitt Romney’s shadow darkening the door at its annual conference.
The Conservative Political Action Committee formally disinvited the Utah Republican from its high-profile conference next month, after he voted in favor of new witnesses in President Trump’s impeachment trial.

Conservative Republican Sen. Mike Lee stuck up for his colleague from Utah.
Mitt Romney is a good friend and an excellent Senator. We have disagreed about a lot in this trial. But he has my respect for the thoughtfulness, integrity, and guts he has shown throughout this process. Utah and the Senate are lucky to have him.

I wonder who he’ll blame for this… It just …COULDN’T… be his fault. With all due respect to Sen. Mike Lee… I strongly disagree… Ole’ Mitt acted out of spite for the President. It will be a long time before his judgment can be trusted again on any level.. if at all.
The RINO Rat Romney is the protege of the RINO Rat McCain! The only difference is McCain is dead.
Keep in mind that during his debate with Obama he had a chance to finish him off! Instead we got 4 more years of the Worse President in American History!
We are at War with the Party of Pond Scum to save Our Country from the Subhuman Garbage that IS the Democrat Party……They are the Enemy and any RINO is a traitor.
God Bless President Trump, God Bless America and to Hell with the Democrats.
He’ll blame it on trump of course..
BUT IMO This is about bloody time CPAC stopped inviting these traitors.
Good old Mike Lee, who like Lou Dobbs stated, wants to pass a bill that brings in many more people on HB1 Visas, who will work a hundred hours a week, at lower wages, than Americans. Thus, like Lou Dobbs said, these companies will hire these foreigners, at the expense of American workers and this will also drive down the wages of American workers and force American workers into working ridiculous hours. With regard to Mitt, the New World Order TRAITOR, this carpet bagger should just join the DemoRAT TRAITOR to our Country Party. What is wrong with the stupid voters in Utah, that voted for this piece of garbage TRAITOR? The RINO voters (not those of us that are Conservatives) are no different than the liberal voters. The RINO voters, who vote for trash like Romney, are a mental disease, just like the liberals. The only people with common sense in every day life, in our society, are Conservatives.
“Romney unwelcome at annual CPAC gathering“……..TeeHee 🙂
But look at the bright side, this dishonorable RINO is unwelcome to the Republicans and not really welcomed by the disgraceful Democrats.
Maybe the Mormons of Utah will see that he only serves himself and will not vote for this self-serving, self-righteous professional politician in the next election.
we can only hope Scruff… Lets hope the RNC will support a conservative challenger for his seat.
Scruffy : Romney is considered by the democrats to be a useful idiot, the same as was John McCain. Nothing more than a person to be pulled along on a chain and kicked when they wish him to speak.
At issue with old mittens, is the fact, just like most states, the populace areas like these kind of fools. SLC is a liberal hole, look what they spawned in the way of mcadams, former mayor, now a house member. Most of UT knew better than vote romney, but he drew large amount of votes from up north.
Pity the voters in Utah, can’t RECALL his sorry butt.
This is absolutely a good move for CPAC. This John McCain wannabe is a cancerous poison to the GOP and conservative causes. I remember going to a GOP fundraiser in Dallas several years ago and this bozo was the featured speaker telling everyone what they wanted to hear. I want to cut off the hand I used to vote for this dbag in 2012. The only reason Mutt can get away with this grandstanding is the fact he is in the office for the next four years, and there is nothing that can be done about it. What a disgusting liar and turncoat.
He’s a loser RINO. Why would real conservatives want him anywhere in the same zone? I’d like to buy the chimp a one-way ticket to Venezuela so he can be surrounded by his own kind. Filthy Lib whiner.
Just google Romney’s garage. Not the one that caught on fire. In fact, he should be running as a Democrat because that’s what he is looking at articles about him. If he shows up they should run him out on a rail after the tar and feathers.
Mike Lee has become a disappointment lately, he co-sponsored a bill with a Democrat to increase the number of foreign work visas. When his campaign called asking for money I said no and told them I was against the visa increase and she said others had mentioned it. Thank God that our President did not choose his as a SCOTUS Justice.
To think I voted for this vindictive turf.
Its not called Rino Pac
Mike Lee must have left his seeing eye dog at home. Only a blind man could speak well of Romney. After Romney is voted out of the senate, he’ll move to another state and run as his true self, a dummycrat.
Even a blind dog, would still smell the stench of this rotten fool.
Romney resents our president because our president won in 2016 and Romney lost in 2012. He is displaying his sour grapes. Too bad, Mitt, you will never be US president.
And, mrp15, he wanted to be secretary of state. He interviewed with President Trump for it. It was probably an attempt of fence-mending with Romney for Trump who most likely had no intention of him giving the job to rat Romney. When Trump was running for office some news person made a comment to Trump that Romney was rich, worth $200 million. Trump replied, “That’s not rich.” I’m sure that offended Romney.
If Mr.Schlapp is saying that Mr. Romney is not invited to speak at the conference, I agree with him. CPAC is a wonderful opportunity to be educated in conservative principles. I hope that Mr. Romney would be welcome to attend to learn how conservatism will save our beloved country.
I used to be a Romney fan but no longer. He is letting his personal feelings cloud his judgement. He cannot rise above it all, he wears his bitterness on his sleeve. I can clearly understand why Mitt never made it to the White House. He gives off an attitude that he is better than everyone else. He is not! His day is over, sad to say.
I once voted for Romney for President. Now I would not vote for this self serving phony for dog catcher. He has disgraced the people of Utah by voting to continue this democrat charade to make null and void the 2016 election and to stick it to America in 2020.Thank goodness the real Republicans in the Senate stood up for America.
Any person with a brain and who spends 15 seconds thinking about can figure it
out , so Mitt must have had some ulterior motive for being such a rat. Thank you CPAC for dis-inviting this disgrace.
Romney and Ryan …R&R …. railroading America. If I had known then what I know now , I would have voted for Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.
I first came to live in this country (legally) in the early eighties. I had the highest respect for Romney…….My perception of him has changed. I can best describe it in this way: When I first became familiar with him it was as if he was in the penthouse of a building, on top of everything and looking down. He was a problem solver, he fixed the difficulties of the Olympics which at that time was being held in Los Angeles. He was way up there. Since then I have watched him take the stairs down from the penthouse. One floor at a time over the years. Today I see him on the ground floor getting ready to walk down to the basement. He has lost a lot of altitude. And I don’t care what Senator Lee says about him. He has lost lots of altitude. Sorry. I agree with one of the other comments in this section……..I would not vote for him to be dog catcher in Tijuana.
I am a regular contributor to RNC, mainly because of helping with Congressional and Senate races. I would never knowingly donate, directly or indirectly, to Romney candidacy again. We should let RNC & others know we will withhold donations until we have assurance nothing goes to RINO Romney ever again. Who is with me on this?
That is why i don’t DONATE to the RNC itself. IF i donate, its to a specific candidate..
What on earth made him think he would be welcome?
I believe he had been invited, initially, and the invitation has now been withdrawn.
Because he’s a brain dead moron, that thought “GEE i have an R by my name, so that should mean i get to go, right”
The Senate would be MORE lucky to have someone respectable instead of Romney
Mittens thinks he’s gonna replace Trump in 2024.
Delusional!!
Romney is a total disgrace. Can’t believe Mike Lee supports this bum. It makes me question who Mike Lee really is. So glad that CPAC recognizes what an angry, biased jerk Mittens is.
Mitterns is a man without a party. Only in Utah could he get elected and now maybe not even there! I have no pity for him because his ignorance of the CONSTITUTION and the founders intent make him a very dangerous politician and a definite liability.
I was fooled by Romney, but never again. This vote was nothing but a poke in the eye of the president. How’s that for classy?
Finally stupidity has begun to hurt. Maybe he will learn from the shunning like the Amish. You do not want to play, go away.
Mitt is nothing but another McCain, RINO and poor loser. Too bad we have him for another 4 years.
Mitt Romney: Best remembered for his gutless run for the presidency.
