https://www.thedailybeast.com/maga-senator-mike-lee-frantically-deletes-wild-post-after-blowback/Chronically online MAGA Congressman Mike Lee should have just kept this one in the drafts.
The Utah senator, 54, shared a photo on X on Sunday afternoon of masked Mexican cartel members, calling out leftists in an attempted double standards gotcha moment regarding the idea that ICE agents should not wear masks to hide their identities.
Cartel hitmen wear masks, Lee, from his personal @BasedMikeLee account, wrote. Leftists arent complaining.
However, the senator was quick to delete his post after a few prominent Democrats responded, calling out how Lees argument unintentionally backfired.
Yes. Cartel hitmen wear masks. Thats why ICE shouldnt, wrote Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

(3,747 posts)... that being a senator insulates him from taking responsibility for his words and actions. For instance, in October of 2020, he tweeted, Democracy isn't the objective; liberty, peace, and prospefity[sic] are. We want the human condition to flourish. Rank democracy can thwart that.
Emphasis mine.
This is the kind of treacherous little shit that Lee really is. And it really shouldn't be necessary to point out that he's a Republican. What other swamp creature would say such a thing in public?

Just got done reading about Dipshit Dirtbag's video call with the hockey team and wishing someone was "elbows up" with him. The impunity is starting to get to me. Gotta go meditate or watch some "Leverage" or something.

Smug and as phony as a $3 bill.
His campaign was funded from out of state. Can't stand the thing.

(2,023 posts)Make some "Off the Wall" statement, so that Fox News can "capture" it and broadcast it to their viewers or be quoted on Right Wing Radio,...........Then they quickly withdraw it.....
Years ago, the camera in the Senate and House, recorded the whole audience when ever a politician was speaking...........
Now the camera focuses in on only the person speaking, leaving the impression that he/she is speaking to the "whole" House or Senate audience.
But in fact, they are standing there speaking, camera zoomed in on them, and it is 2:00 am in the chamber and the only ones in the entire chamber are them and the cameraman.........cute, huh......
