Romney receives JFK 'Profile in Courage' award for voting to convict Trump on first impeachment charge
Fox News
Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, received the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation’s 2021 “Profile in Courage” award on Thursday for what the organization described as his “historic” vote to convict former President Donald Trump during his first impeachment trial last year.
"Senator Romney’s commitment to our Constitution makes him a worthy successor to the Senators who inspired my father to write Profiles in Courage," said Caroline Kennedy, who served as US ambassador to Japan in former President Barack Obama’s second term in office. "He reminds us that our Democracy depends on the courage, conscience and character of our elected officials." In Feb. 2020, Romney was the only Republican senator who voted to convict Trump on an impeachment charge of "abuse of power." Trump was accused of pressuring Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, ahead of the 2020 presidential election. He was later acquitted. Earlier this year, Romney joined with a handful of Senate Republicans who voted to convict Trump on a single charge of incitement of insurrection over his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. Trump was again acquitted at trial.
