Supporters of President Donald Trump mock Senator Mitt Romney at an airport in Utah for not backing the president before Congress counted the election results of the presidential election.
In a video posted to Twitter, Romney appears to be waiting for his flight from Salt Lake City to Washington, DC in the waiting area, when an angry woman approaches him, calling him out for not being party to President Trump’s allegations of electoral fraud. .
Why don’t you support President Trump? You don’t support him, ” the woman asks.
“I support President Trump,” Romney replies. “I’m sorry, I agree with many of the things he is for and I support him.”
The woman was not satisfied with the answer and continued to pressure Romney about the election results.
“It’s a long story, but it’s a constitutional process and the constitution is clear,” said Romney. “I will follow the constitution and I will explain all of that when we meet in Congress this week.”
“You have been chosen as a Conservative to represent the Conservative voters. Period, ”the woman barks back.
“Actually that’s not how the constitution works,” Romney replies before closing his laptop and walking away.

Romney has indicated that he will vote to confirm President-elect Joe Biden’s election victory.
The Republican senator has even sued his fellow GOP colleagues for opposing the certification of the presidential election results.
“The blatant ploy to reject voters may bolster the political ambition of some, but poses a dangerous threat to our Democratic Republic,” Romney said in a statement Sunday.
“The power of Congress to reject voters is reserved for the most extreme and unusual circumstances. These are far from it. More Americans have participated in these elections than ever before, and they have made their choice. “
