Utah Senator Mitt Romney (RINO-UT) was picked to receive the 2021 John F. Kennedy Presidential Library's Profile in Courage Award only because he was the one so-called Republican to vote in favor of convicting former President Donald J. Trump in his first of two impeachment trials.
“The 2021 Profile in Courage Award goes to Senator Mitt Romney for his vote to convict President Donald J. Trump in 2020, and his consistent and courageous defense of democracy,” the JFK Library said. “As the first Senator to have ever voted to convict a President of his own party, Senator Romney’s courageous stand was historic. Despite facing unrelenting criticism and public antagonism following this vote, along with threats to his physical safety and demands that he be censured or expelled from the Republican party, Romney has continued to courageously defend the fundamental principles of democratic governance.”
“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 former Ambassador Caroline Kennedy. “He reminds us that our Democracy depends on the courage, conscience and character of our elected officials.”
Other runners-up for this year's award go to the following:
Rep. Ilhan Omar, (D-MN) for her courage to call out the state of Israel for its condemnation of Palestinians who seek to kill Jewish children and adults for the crime of being Jewish. "Ms. Omar stands out as a woman of incredible courage to speak truth to power about people she views as descendants from pigs and apes, who care only about the 'Benjamins,'" the panel stated. "She was also fair minded about the people who did something on 911, which took remarkable courage and a strong religious commitment on her part."
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) for her courageous use of expressive language upon winning her seat in the U.S. House of Representatives saying of the U.S. President Donald Trump: "We're going to impeach this motherf***er." as her young son stood proudly by her f***ing side. "If that isn't courageous, we at the Kennedy Library don't know what is," the judges said.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) for his wild-eyed intrepid search for impeachable information against a sitting president of the United States even in light of the possibility of embarrassment for unsubstantiated claims. "Representative Schiff exemplifies what it means to be a politician," the award judges said. "His courage in the fight against Trump, when no one in his Party had the guts to say anything negative about the President, is what this award is all about."
But in the end, Sen. Romney won the prestigious award. His hatred for former President Trump was only exceeded by his love of the cute soprano in the third row of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and of course, the Benjamins.
