Fox News host Tucker Carlson refused to say Sen. Mitt Romney’s name after the Utah Republican voted in favor of convicting President Trump for abuse of power.

“A lone Republican, as you may have read, defected and joined the Democrats,” Carlson said during his show Wednesday night. “That senator shall go unnamed on this show on the grounds that silly moral preening should not be rewarded with the publicity it is designed to garner.”
