The former party nominee and Sen. Susan Collins were the only Republicans to side with Democrats in voting to hear witnesses in the impeachment trial.
Sen. Mitt Romney will not be invited to this year’s CPAC, the conservative conference’s host chair announced Friday in the aftermath of senators voting not to hear additional witnesses in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial.
“BREAKING: The “extreme conservative” and Junior Senator from the great state of Utah, @SenatorRomney is formally NOT invited to #CPAC2020,” tweeted Matt Schlapp, chair of the American Conservative Union, which hosts the conference.

Republican cancel culture. On the other hand, it means that Romney doesn't have to pretend to care about this bizarre carnival, so kinda win-win for him. https://t.co/Ul0ossxnIS

Liberal snowflakes can’t handle civil and reasoned disagreement! Extremists can’t even let mainstream voices speak!

No fan of Romney, but…the people who run CPAC haven’t been true conservatives for a long time, if ever. They are among those who have attempted to redefine conservatism as being a Trump supporter. If you aren’t all in for Trump, then you aren’t conservative, according to them That’s nonsense.
Romney, no conservative himself, should be happy not to be invited to this soiree for hypocrites and charlatans.
