Republican Mitt Romney has become the only senator in US history to vote to convict and remove from office a president from his own party — breaking an otherwise party-line vote.

In President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial, Senator Romney turned his back on the Republicans on the first charge, abuse of power, resulting in a vote of 52-48.

“The president is guilty of an appalling abuse of public trust,” he said. Senator Romney returned to party lines for the second charge, obstruction of Congress, with a vote of 53-47. Image: Getty

‘Backstab’ the only Republican senator to do his sworn duty? That caption says so much about Sky News Wes

'backstab'. Cretins.

At least One Republican has Standards.

The only republican with some backbone and concern for the US rule of law and constitution. The republicans are the swamp now

Judas.

Romney is riddled with hate only a child normally has. He is sick with jealousy of the Presidents success . Success he could not achieve himself.

That's one more than everyone expected

i dint gave a dam about but I feel sorry when americans not all of them vote him in again in the election obviously I hope he loses. he is not president material definitely not.

Trump's own stupid fault he's there in the first place

Backstab?

He’s no sheep of the swamp

Senators thinking they are smarter than the people. What happens when your ego out shines your brain.

Had it been a Democrat president, sky would be praising his courage.

The ONLY member of the Republican party with any integrity.

Romney has issues, get rid of him fast

MittRomney is a DemoRat always has been!

A jury should be balanced and not vote along political lines. This is a mistrial

And he did the Right Thing!

A length of rope and a tree for treason!

That face is what panic looks like.

What a rat!

think romney will have many things to worry about, regarding the law, in the near future!

The Republican's version of Malcolm Turnbull !!

Mitt aka Pierre Delecto, may well have personal reasons he doesn't like what President Trump is uncovering in Ukraine.

He has family in oil in the Ukraine

Good for him!

Romney is the Malcolm Turnbull of American politics . A globalist grub who was exposed by Trump & he’s been tryingto destroy Trump since 2015 .... Trump wins AGAIN !! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

A man with guts and integrity!

He better watch his back in the next Utah senate elections

Know I know where the term...’Trumped up charges’ comes from. Romney both stupid and treacherous.

Well at least on of them has a conscience.🙏

lowkey Mitt no more, did it on the grandest stage too. you messed up Utah

That went well for him then hey.

RatRomney

Romney aka Pierre Delecto is a carpetbagging Democrat RecallRomney

So what dit that vote achieve exactly? Other than confirming that Romney can't be trusted?

'Shenanigans are over': Nationals assure party is 'back to business' | Sky News AustraliaMichael McCormack has survived a leadership challenge by Barnaby Joyce after the former leader mounted a frenzied, but ultimately unsuccessful, campaign to take back his old job. \n\nA spill for the leadership was called on Tuesday morning after Bridget McKenzie’s resignation as deputy leader created a vacuum for Mr Joyce to challenge for the top job. \n\nDavid Littleproud was elected as the former deputy's successor after fending off challengers David Gillespie and Keith Pitt. \n\nFollowing the announcement, Mr McCormack said his party was moving forward as a united front, and promised his party was focused on delivering for Australia’s regions. \n\nThe leader of the Nationals said he did not expect another move from Mr Joyce in the near future, insisting “I’ve shook hands with Barnaby and we’re going to move on”. \n\nNew deputy leader David Littleproud also assured Australians it was 'now back to business”. \n\n“The shenanigans are over, it's time to get back to looking after those people that are facing drought,' he said. \n\n'It's time for us to focus on them, not us.' So are the Nats. A once great party, now a shallow husk.
