Mitt Romney (R-UT) is not exactly Mr. Popular in Washington, D.C., or in much of the country, for that matter.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s Republican, which means half of America already hates him. And the failed presidential candidate also voted twice to impeach then-President Donald Trump, which means he\u2019s not well liked by many GOPers, either.<\/p>\n<p>But now it turns out Romney\u2019s got a way around all of that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepublican Sen. Mitt Romney reportedly likes to go incognito while in Palm Beach, Florida,\u201d Business Insider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/mitt-romney-avoids-donald-trump-supporters-by-wearing-hats-2022-4\">wrote<\/a>. \u201cThe Utah conservative 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 \u2018This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America\u2019s Future.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he were recognized by Trump supporters there, there was a good chance he would be harassed,\u201d New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alex Burns wrote. For the record, Trump\u2019s home at the Mar-a-Lago resort is also in Palm Beach.<\/p>\n<p>Romney might have good reason to go incognito. The day before the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol riot, Trump supporters harangued Romney as he awaited a flight to D.C. at the Salt Lake International Airport. A viral video released at the time showed an angry woman calling him an \u201cabsolute joke\u201d and other passengers on the plane chanted \u201ctraitor\u201d at the senator.<\/p>\n<p>The Mormon senator twice bucked the party to oppose Trump, whom he called in the 2016 Republican presidential campaign a \u201cphony.\u201d\u00a0In February 2020, Romney joined every Democrat in the Senate to vote for removing Trump from office for what he said was an \u201cappalling abuse of public trust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Less than a year later, Romney was among seven Republican senators who voted to convict\u00a0Trump in his impeachment trial in connection with the Capitol riot, although the president was eventually acquitted by the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not the first time the senator has tried to go incognito, Salt Lake City TV station KSL <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ksl.com\/article\/50397669\/utah-sen-mitt-romney-wears-a-hat-to-avoid-harassment-from-trump-supporters-in-palm-beach\">reported<\/a>. \u201cHe admitted in 2019 to using a secret Twitter account under the name, \u2018Pierre Delecto\u2019 to read political news, keep track of politicians, defend himself on social media and \u2018like\u2019 critical tweets about Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAsked about an account attributed to user \u2018Pierre Delecto\u2019 by The Atlantic\u2019s McKay Coppins on Sunday night, the Utah Republican and 2012 GOP presidential nominee replied, \u2018C\u2019est moi,\u2019 or \u2018it\u2019s me,&#8217;\u201d the station reported in 2019.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
