Sen. Mitt Romney disguises himself while vacationing in Palm Beach to avoid being ‘harassed,’ book says

Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) allegedly likes to go out in disguise while visiting Palm Beach, Florida.

Romney has been wearing hats while dining out in the wealthy oceanside enclave, where he has a vacation home, in an effort to disguise himself, a family friend told the authors of the new book “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future.”

“If he were recognized by Trump supporters there, there was a good chance he would be harassed,” New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns wrote. Former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort is also in Palm Beach.

In 2019, Romney admitted to using a secret Twitter account with the pseudonym “Pierre Delecto” to defend himself on social media and “like” critical tweets about Trump.

According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Ann Romney, who is Mitt Romney’s wife, says Trump’s feud with him has created such hostility amongst supporters that she has “severe doubts about whether any of their five sons could ever run for elected office as Republicans.”

Last spring, Mitt Romney had boos and catcalls cascaded down upon him from well over 2,000 Republican delegates at the Utah Republican State Convention. Trump issued a statement around that time calling the Utah senator “a stone-cold loser!”

Romney has received unwelcome attention from Republicans in the past. He was accosted at the Salt Lake City airport by a Trump supporter as he travelled to Washington the day before the Capitol riot. Passengers on the plane mocked him with chants of “traitor,” and Utah Republicans booed him when he spoke at last year’s state convention.

Romney was the only Republican to vote to remove Trump from office in his first impeachment trial.
