Eight years ago, Mitt Romney was seen as the devil by Hollywood liberals as he was the Republican nominee in the 2012 presidential election. Now, however, Hollywood liberals have changed their tune about Romney after he was the only Republican senator to vote to convict President Donald Trump on impeachment charges yesterday.
Radical Hollywood liberals have been taking to Twitter in droves to praise Romney in the past 24 hours. One such liberal is Rosie O’Donnell, who has been in a bitter feud with Trump for over a decade. She wrote, “thank u @SenatorRomney for voting to convict – one republican with honor #ConvictAndRemove.”

Former “Who’s The Boss” star Alyssa Milano, who has become more famous in recent years for her radical anti-Trump activism than she ever was for her acting, also had words of praise for Romney.
“Thank you for doing what’s right, @MittRomney. History will remember you as a decent, courageous, man among cowards and fools,” she tweeted.

John Cusack, one of the most radically anti-Trump actors in Hollywood, simply wrote, “Romney tells the truth.”

“Incredible,” wrote former “The West Wing” star Bradley Whitford. “The radical idea that an elected official must put their oath to uphold the constitution above what’s most convenient for them politically. Thank you @MittRomney. Let’s help him blow this spark of decency into a fire that engulfs the madness of hatred and division.”

Even Bette Midler, who frequently attacks conservatives on her Twitter page, shared her love for Romney following his vote.
“Romney made a great speech, logical, well reasoned, emotional and true,” she tweeted. “It honestly looks as if #Romney is the ONLY person of courage in the entire party. THAT’S THE REAL OUTRAGE.”

When Romney ran for president against Barack Obama eight years ago, he could do nothing right in the eyes of the Hollywood left. They are only praising him now because he shamelessly catered to them by voting to convict Trump out of sheer bitterness and jealousy. As President Trump himself would say: SAD!
