What did he do to attack Mitt's religion?I’m proud of Mitt.
but I’m disheartened to see Mike Lee and Gov Gary Herbert refusing to stand up for Romney as Trump not only attacked him but attacked the man’s religion (whom Lee and Herbert share).
Yet another example that for most repubs, “religious freedom” is just a pathetic talking point that only matters when you’re trying to attack the gays and Muslims. But if the president you’re afraid of attacks a man’s religion, it’s all good.

When did people start expecting parties to be homogeneous? How do they not see that as a sever sign of ill health for democracy? God dammit.
It was probably more criticism of Romney referencing his faith as justification for Romney's vote to convict. Notably, saying Romney's religion was only a crutch:

Also, during the prayer breakfast, Trump said "I don't like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong."
Well, who does, but of course quite a few believe Romney did what he knew was right.
SALT LAKE CITY — President Donald Trump continued his post-acquittal assault on Sen. Mitt Romney during a meeting Monday with the nation’s governors, including Utah Gov. Gary Herbert.
“How’s Mitt Romney? You keep him. We don’t want him,” Trump said to Herbert, according to a White House pool report.
The Republican governor did not respond, asking instead about the national debt.
Yes. It was this.
Here was Trump attacking Romney in Herbert's face:

Herbert refusing to stand up for Romney and defend our choice of senator is a slap in the face of every Utahn. And to bring up the national debt is such a weak response.
Romney is, and always has been, an opportunist. He only got elected here because he has an R next to his name and he’s a Mormon.
They are cowards. I wrote an Op-Ed for the Des News but apparently they aren't publishing it as I sent over a week ago -- "Profiles in Courage" in which I compared Mitt to the Senators in JFK's famous book and then segued into Bernie Sanders, and how they're all profiles in courage.I’m proud of Mitt.

What does that have to do with what he did? Do you think it was an opportunity for him to ingratiate himself with his fellows Republicans?Romney is, and always has been, an opportunist. He only got elected here because he has an R next to his name and he’s a Mormon.

It's weird that he didn't see the easy opportunity to do what was expected of him by his party, his state, and his president and how that opportunity would keep him in their good graces.Romney is, and always has been, an opportunist.

Why would aligning with never Trumpers further his political career?I think he sees an opportunity to further his political career by aligning with never trumpers. Mitt has never let what he sees as an opportunity go to waste.
