Romney acknowledged that irony in his acceptance speech. "I want to thank Caroline Kennedy and her son, Jack, for overlooking the decades our families have been on opposite political teams." In receiving the award, Romney, considered a moderate Republican, called out the extremes in both parties. "Some of us on the right infect the nation with claims of election fraud, tech and media outrages, even vaccine fantasies," Romney said. "From the left come hyper woke accusations and antipathy toward free enterprise, the very means of our prosperity." Sen. Mitt Romney will receive the JFK Library's Profile in Courage award, after he broke with his party to vote to convict former President Donald Trump.
