Mitt Romney (R-UT) says he fell down over the weekend and was knocked unconscious, resulting in \u201ca lot of stitches.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ronmey, 73, said he \u201ctook a fall\u201d when he was in Boston visiting his son and grandchildren. He appeared Monday on Capitol Hill with a black eye and stitches above his eye and over his lip.<\/p>\n<p>The senator told reporters that after his fall, he was taken to a hospital and got stitches. \u201cI had kind of a tough, tough weekend,\u201d Romney joked. \u201cI took a fall, knocked me unconscious, but I\u2019m doing better. I went to CPAC \u2014 that was a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Romney was referring to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) that was held in Orlando over the weekend. A moderate who twice voted to convict former President Donald Trump on impeachment charges, Romney is not popular at the conservative event.<\/p>\n<p>Romney said he didn\u2019t know how many stitches he got. \u201cA lot of stitches. I don\u2019t know how many. I asked the doctor how many stitches and she said, \u2018I don\u2019t know,\u2019 but it\u2019s all through my eyebrow and my lip.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The senator was not invited to CPAC this year after his impeachment vote, and Matt Schlapp, chairman of the American Conservative Union which hosts the event, wrote on Twitter that he was disinvited last year. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was also not invited to CPAC, even though he voted to acquit Trump, though he did deliver a scathing speech criticizing the former president.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, Schlapp announced that Romney was not invited to the event, later saying that he \u201cwould be afraid for his physical safety, people are so mad at him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At this year\u2019s CPAC, former Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) took aim at Romney, who once had a secret Twitter account under the name Pierre Delecto.\u00a0\u201cMy name is Jason Chaffetz, I\u2019m from Utah and I am not Mitt Romney,\u201d Chaffetz said. \u201cIf you\u2019re looking for Pierre Delecto, you need to go down the hall, go left, and then just keep going left until \u2014 well, just keep going left. That\u2019s where you\u2019ll find him.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sen <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MittRomney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MittRomney<\/a> has a black eye and stitches, says he took a fall while visiting his son in Boston, \u201cI took a fall, knocked me unconscious but I\u2019m doing better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joked: \u201cI went to CPAC, that was a problem\u2026\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6P1QWrjr9O\">pic.twitter.com\/6P1QWrjr9O<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Frank Thorp V (@frankthorp) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/frankthorp\/status\/1366528378308820993?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 1, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Romney was a fierce critic of Trump and joined six other Republican senators who voted to convict him of inciting an insurrection on Jan. 6.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter careful consideration of the respective counsels\u2019 arguments, I have concluded that President Trump is guilty of the charge made by the House of Representatives,\u201d Romney said in a statement. \u201cHe did this despite the obvious and well known threats of violence that day.
