‘Take Some Time Off and Ride Around with Your Dog on the Roof of Your Car’
During the “Opening Statement” segment of her Saturday Fox News Channel program, Jeanine Pirro expressed her displeasure with Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) for his vote to convict and remove President Donald Trump during his impeachment trial last week.
Pirro said that instead, Romney should be removed from office given he had gone against the wishes of the people of Utah.

This week, we witnessed the difference between a leader and a wannabe. The stark contrast between someone who is a world leader and someone who is hoping his day will come.
But being a leader takes vision, fortitude, persistence, and a selflessness, a dogged determination to a goal that never changes.
By way of example, permit me to introduce you to a non-leader, the first United States Senator in American history to vote to convict the President of his own party, Mitt Romney, the sole and only republican to vote to convict President Trump.
How dare he? How could he and why would he? Mitt dared to do what he thought was good for him individually, not for the party, not for us, and certainly not for America.
He knew his vote would change nothing regarding impeachment, but he tried to set himself up as a leader going against everyone else. He took a stand he thought would impress others. It did.
Many on the loony left defended him, saying his vote was very patriotic. Yes, he endeared himself to the Trump-hating left, the radicals, not interested in the America First agenda. The ones who were all about power, not truth.
So why? Mitt says his strong faith is the reason, and that God demanded it of me.
