Because of this, the St. Clair County Republican Party said, "The SCCRCC expresses its official displeasure and vehement disapproval of the aforesaid language, actions and behavior of Bob Romanik and adopts this measure as a formal and stern rebuke."[10]
In response, Romanik wrote,
| “ |
These few idiots, who calls themselves the St. Clair County Republican leaders, leaders of a very weak, very small, failed organization, a total disgrace to all the proud and productive true Republicans in St. Clair County, can’t censure me because these few idiots don’t have the right, nor the power.[12][11] |

He added, “Only my constituents of the 114th Legislative District of Illinois can censure me by not voting for me.”[12]
