This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

Trying to be rational with people devoid of empathy is a waste of time. These are people that slash medical care for poor people. Take away food aid from children. . Cut taxes on billionaires. Take away rights from workers etc. Open your eyes they do not care if you die.

No empathy is a staple of MAGA/TRUMP/GOP. It just happens to be that Mike Lee was the front and center asshole face in the latest horrible moment driven by their hateful ways.

the dehumanization of and culture of scoring points off "the other side" is absolutely a major factor in the radicalization of this shooter and others like him. throwing fuel on that fire shows the casual indifference to human suffering that has become representative of senator lee and other GOPs.

GOP Mike Lee is forever associated with causing unknown pain and grief to children whose parents were assassinated because the the hate fomented by GOPs just like Mike Lee. Lee's children will have to (and probably are) living with hate and vitriol in their own home.

He's really not that big of a hero when really confronted. He can't even handle NAFO What you see is his weakness. These kinds of people are usually living it out on the people around them behind closed doors. When you dig into this you will find a tar pit

Things deplorably 💩y people do and are proud of their actions… Stop expecting these people to be MORE than they are capable of being. Have “Golden Calf or Kool-Aid”, they’ll worship and suck the container BONE dry!!!

We basically need to fix voting laws, vote everyone out and start a clean slate with people who DON’T want the job(no ego hopefully), end Citizens United, expand Supremes to 13, fix tax code to 50% tax on top 10% (and eliminate tax codes that favor the wealthy), then maybe we’d survive

Mike Lee is just as cruel & foolish as all the others who cling to the brutish buffoonery of Trumpty Dumpty. Those of us who love, walk in, and speak the truth are witnesses as Yahweh exposes all those who have accepted the 'mark of the beast'

Any Mormons out there? Is this typical of Mormon hatred? Or is this just generic Christian hatred? Cuz you know there's no hate like Christian "love" Christians, Republicans, conservatives, ICE, CBP. The whole world sees your racism and hatred. We will never forget.

Member of the LDS faith here. I can assure you Lee’s actions are a stain on the faith, and are entirely in contradiction to everything the church, and its leaders teach. He’s a disgrace to Utah, the church and humanity more broadly. We’re not all like this, though admittedly too many are.

Thanks. I'm baffled by the number of religious people of all stripes who have joined this cruel, selfish and hateful 'movement'. For the third time now, they voted for a selfish, vulgar bully who cheats, lies and steals from everyone he deals with.

Public comment from leadership is unlikely, though not unusual. Public comment is usually for *policy* advocacy, not *political* advocacy. As a matter of policy the church doesn’t advocate politically, it avoids the appearance of political endorsements quite carefully.

Obsession and animosity unfathomable expectation of american politics is far below standards of even young democracies where we only voice our concerns and NEVER believe on the power of the gun to do what is God's -Life. Why tell us your age has just become senile of democracy and a little wisdom.

Lee is vile. He should be charged with interference in an ongoing investigation. The ringing silence is Trump's. By saying nothing he endorses such violence against his opponents. His crazed followers will take this as an action endorsed by him.

Pressure works- We only need to flip 3 R sens' vote for the sick budget bill & we're close! Phonebanking to call Dem voters in a vulnerable R's district & patch them through to thr rep IS VERY EFFECTIVE. Targeted- calling voters in districts w/ vulnerable Rs. www.mobilize.us/cahealth/eve...

The amazing thing about the Cult is they never miss an opportunity to push their own agenda and the narrative of lies no matter who the victim. The thousands of people killed by gun violence does not generate any outrage or action. There is no Sandy Hook bill but Laken Riley suits the agenda.

In the last month, one Republican senator mocked a woman concerned about the casualties their proposed Medicaid cuts would cause and another mocked an assassination. Let's be frank: This party is not salvageable. The GOP needs to go the way of the whigs.

these are the supposed leaders who are praised, lionized and voted for by the religious people, why would anyone want to be a christian or evangelical or whatever, they are just the most horrid of people, the cruelest and most ignorant, willful ignorance, Shame on them...............

Just echoing the cruelty emanating from the Trump regime. Elect a hateful asshole, expect the assholes come out of the woodwork. Additionally, the "deep state" conspiracy conservatives like to rail against is actually the Ku Klux Klan, and the #KKK are now the Republican Party, led by #PutinsPuppet.

Let's think about the various pillars of power that are propping up the authoritarian regime. Our goal in nonviolent resistance is to undermine them. We can isolate the authoritarian leaders. We can divide them from each other and from their supporters. commonslibrary.org/power-mappin...

Why won't Democrats start a censure against Mike Lee? The email is good, but ALSO should state that Lee's remarks inspire others to do horrific evil. If these murders are not fully denounced by ALL Congressmembers, such attacks will continue. And it will be Mike Lee having blood on his hands.

I hope this is getting media attention in Utah, as voters need to be aware of how their senator is behaving. My impression has always been that Utah voters are not OK with the more vulgar and cruel aspects of MAGA. I don't think they would agree with Sen. Lee's remarks at all.

Lee doesn't give a rat's ass about anything. We need to stop pushing back on dicks like him and start reposting his insanity to the republican leadership and ask them for a response to how they feel about it. Crickets so far when I've asked Scott, Luna and Moody about it. Their silence is profound.

Mike Lee is a typical scared little boy that bullies to get some false sense of control and power. He thinks he’s showing power by being callous and ugly but he’s just showing he’s a shell of a human with nothing of substance on the inside. I hope he gets everything he deserves.

Oh, Theres so much more he will be remembered for despicably. Remember his fear during the insurrection of J6 and how he righteously came out vs Trump only to fold like the Loser he is in no time. He is a small man; i do not mean in stature or dick size though readily apparent.

As with other representatives who have completely disappointed me in the past. This has likely always been who he was. He just happened to hide it before. You don't get to "cruelty is the point" overnight.

That fragile piece doesn't hold up well when action has to be taken to remove an authoritarian regime that has claimed total control. TRAMP may appear fragile in many ways now, but if he installs himself permanently at 1600 Penn Ave, what we will then confront will not seem fragile at all.

Any other time, Lee's career would be over. But, and with regrets to any people on Bluesky who still identify as Republicans: Nobody expects any better from the Republican Party. Not just now, basically since the 1990's.

Something needs to happen in this shit needs to stop. This is way out of control and unbelievable that this is accepted in THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!! They are the new terrorist of America. This Regime is the most embarrassing disgusting group ever White House!! How are they still in power?!

Mike Lee should be YANKED out of office NO choice, put on trial, put in prison PERIOD-END-OF-STORY!! What country are we living in?! These scumbags / so called “Reps” & “Senators” that spew hate, lies, deceit, & conspiracy theories, mock & cheer when a HUMAN is murdered because they aren’t MAGAts.

Utahan for 56 of my 59 years. The GOP of Utah has some of the worst people in the world as members. They're brainwashed LDS that think they are fulfilling LDS prophecy (look up White Horse) from the 1840s. They'll shake hand with the right and stab your back with the left. 60/40 maj. Sucks ass here

I believe more and more that these people are in these position because the majority of voters actually want them there. Voters are ok with cruelty. It reflects how they are. I’m sick of finding excuses for them.

If the GOP were a serious political party, capable of *any* decency at all, a sitting Senator would be forced to resign over this tweet. The GOP is a cult. I'm old enough to remember Senator Al Franken resigning over much less, from over a decade in the past. Lee's despicable tweet = TODAY.

He’s worse than a disgrace to the Senate and the state of Utah. He’s a disgrace to mankind. Only a vile human being would even consider doing what he did.

Cruelty will be the totality of their legacy. What else have they done? They haven't improved the economy, strengthened the military, decreased crime, increased opportunity, or otherwise done anything that has benefited the people of this country in any way.

Mike Lee has always been a major A🕳. He has always lied, while he cut deals for himself behind the scenes. He was caught on video & on recording a few times about cutting S.S. , Medicare, Medicaid, etc. Then lying like a dirty rug to the house & president Biden that he was never going to do that.

But it’s a badge of honor in the GOP to be unbelievably cruel and disgraceful, which I’m sure Lee wears proudly. He’ll probably be honored next week at the White House for being the most cruel and disgraceful GOPer of the month.
