CPAC Chair After Impeachment Witness Vote: Mitt Romney is “formally NOT invited to #CPAC2020”

Back in April of last year, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) lamented that the Mueller report left him "sickened" by Trump. Apparently, he still is because he was one of only two Republican senators to vote with the Democrats for more witnesses in the Democrats' sham impeachment circus.
