Trump took a shot at Mitt Romney after the Republican senator voted to convict the president on the first article of impeachment, abuse of power.
The Utah Republican said of his decision yesterday, “As a senator-juror, I swore an oath before God to exercise impartial justice. I am profoundly religious. My faith is at the heart of who I am. I take an oath before God as enormously consequential.”
Trump addressed his controversial comments at this morning’s National Prayer Breakfast, during which he issued thinly veiled insults against Nancy Pelosi and Mitt Romney.
“I had Nancy Pelosi sitting four seats away, and I’m saying things that a lot of people wouldn’t have said, but I meant them,” Trump said.
