TRUMP BACKS CALLS FOR ROMNEY SACKING
But celebrities praise him for voting to impeach
President Trump celebrated his acquittal with cocky meme, despite Romney denying the president bragging rights for perfect GOP support.
The president tweeted a video calling Mitt Romney a ‘Democrat secret asset’ after he went against his party in the impeachment vote - as celebrities praise the Utah senator for voting to convict the president.
Trump released the video several hours after he was found not guilty in the Republican-led Senate in his impeachment trial.
Trump’s attack on Romney came after the senator was the only Republican to vote to convict Trump on the abuse of power charge during his trial on Wednesday - the first time in US history that a senator has crossed the aisle to vote to convict a president.
Romney’s decision to break from Republicans caused backlash from Don Jr.trump Jr., who called for Romney to be expelled from the Republican Party. Earlier in the day, Romney gave a somber speech on the Senate floor just hours before the vote saying Trump was ‘guilty of an appalling abuse of public trust’.
