'How's Mitt Romney? You keep him. We don't want him,' President Trump told Gov. Herbert Herbert, who was at the White House for an event with the nation's governors, didn't respond to the dig, and asked the president a question about reducing the deficit
in the impeachment trial on the Senate floor last week, he noted that he had taken"an oath before God" when he was sworn in at the trial and said the evidence showed Trump's dealings with Ukraine were"grievously wrong."
"I am sure to hear abuse from the president and his supporters," Romney said."Does anyone seriously believe I would consent to these consequences other than from an inescapable conviction that my oath before God demanded it of me?" That explanation didn't sit well with the president, who said the next day at the National Prayer Breakfast,"I don't like people who use their faith as a justification for doing what they know is wrong.""I have kind of come to terms that even though he hasn't voted in a way that people say represents his party, the fact that he voted true to his conscience and over his party is a great thing," one voter, Kelsey Malin, 28, said.
