Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) is in hot water over making light of this past weekend’s political violence via social media posts.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) finally bowed to pressure on Tuesday and removed social media posts in which he appeared to mock the murder of a prominent Minnesota Democrat and her husband and the wounding of another state Democrat and his wife.
Democratic lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed in their home in what officials are calling a politically-motivated assassination. Republican Senator Mike Lee is facing fierce criticism after baselessly blaming the assassination on the far left.
