My faith is at the heart of who I am,” Romney said at the start of his speech. ADOn Fox News, anchor Chris Wallace said to Romney, “Donald Trump will never forgive you for this.” Romney’s response: “Do what is right. Let the consequence follow.”Those words come from a hymn that is used in the Mormon Church. While 80 percent of Mormons voted for George W. Bush in 2004, and 78 percent voted for Romney when he ran against Barack Obama in 2012, just 61 percent voted for Trump in 2016. ADMormons were the only religious group to show a significant change in their voting pattern in 2016 compared with prior elections.
