Mike Lee will say he was joking and that people need to lighten up. But he knows the kind of damage this does, especially from someone in his position. He knows it makes things worse. He's just as much a heartless psychopath as the rest of them.

bsky.app/profile/jooc...

Mike Lee sucks!

I would really like to hear Senators on both sides demand that Lee be censured.

Mike Lee must be really tired of embarrassing himself.

Folks with mental illness are most often the Victims of crime, I take exception , for what it's worth, to saying Lee has a mental illness. Lee is a Cruel, Hateful and a Fascist. I think that's a better description.

Mike Lee is a soulless rat and [politically] mentally impaired.

This is what happens when you are a useless pendejo, www.yahoo.com/news/sen-mik...

Mike Lee projecting his mental illness!

I disagree. It’s both, political and a mental illness issue. Dare I add a 3rd, an education issue as well.

Project much?

Idk much - and really don’t care what the murderer’s motives were. But I DO not think the responses of people like Mike Lee and Elon Musk should be anything less than roundly condemned. It is not acceptable. And may just trigger more bad things. We are not okay.

Lee should be expelled from the LDS.

Mike Lee is really a POS

Can any of these chucklefucks even define what a Marxist is, or any of the other evil woke -isms?

That thing is a registered Republican/ Trump enthusiast.. Lee, Trump, & the entire GOP own this. They own the Trumper who killed Judge Salas' son. The Trumper who shot up FSU. The Trumper who slaughtered 23 souls at an El Paso Walmart in '19. Never forget King 🐷 & his photo ops for that horror.

pluralpolicy.com/app/person/7... In case anyone wants to call Mike & say "hey" 😎

Write to Mike and tell him your thoughts: www.lee.senate.gov/services/for...

Already done!

Congress has a chaplain, and a physician... maybe we need to install a resident psychiatrist as well

Yes Mike Lee is mentally ill

Well, I mean it's on brand for being a Republican fascist these days.

As usual, the repubs lie and make excuses to avoid accountability.

This was Lee’s 1 of 2 evil tweets.

Disgraceful how does he get away w this

Mike should live like he has a target on his back. Of course, he probably does. Fear above all else is the Republican way.

He didn't say he was trans, making Lee a moderate in the current context

There is only 1 reason for this type of behavior, and it’s not coming from a Burrito!

I didn't know being a huge asshole was a mental illness. Maybe he can get disability.

Is he discussing Mike Lee or the shooter's metal health? Either way, wtf Shooter: We refuse to make white people responsible for terrorism they perpetrate. If this were a Muslim shooter - he would be dead and labeled a terrorist. Lee: If Democrats said this they would be destroyed in the media

They would be destroyed by Democrats and Republicans.

Mike Lee is a piece of shit

That is a given.

Clearly a nut case

So MAGAs are Marxists. Get it.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D....

Religion ---- If you believe life after death and virgin birth, you'll believe anything. Even, Trump will make America great again. And that prochoice people should be murdered. Separate church and state or USA becomes Iran where women have been killed for too stylish Hijab.

I can’t help but wonder what perversion that these trump sycophants are guilty of that Trump is blackmailing them. That’s the only thing that makes sense #TeddyCruz #LittleJohnsonJohnson

When you are so deep in the Cult that you can't see anymore what the actual truth is and don't care.

I’m a little lost about this interpretation. I thought he meant that “marxists get shot when things don’t go their way”

When you are Mormon and MAGA , these are 2 cults that find weak minded people to control. Mike Lee is a member of both cults.

Whenever I hear people shouting Marxist this is what comes to mind

"history doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes" Mark Twain

Call Lee’s office and let him know how vile he is. I got quite an arrogant jerk answer the phone. Apparently this is a joke to them. Let’s see how funny they think it is when Lee loses his seat. 202-224-5444

There is a deep deep sickness with the USA

@schumer.senate.gov if you don’t act immediately to demand censure, you’re even more useless than we thought. If you won’t protect your own, you deserve no respect. Step up or step off. We demand action, not your entitled bland boring and ineffective point and speak response to fascism. Wake up!

If Minnesota allows the DOJ to prosecute the murderer they’ll make him into a card carrying member of the progressive caucus!

Well, he wasn’t going to say ‘republicans’ now was he?

lee was hoping cops would kill boelter. Captured alive fucks up his narrative.

So MAGA is Marxism now? 🤪

LEE SHOULD BE SANCTIONED but pussy Johnson won't do or say shit.

He should be expelled!!

What kind of idiot would post that? Oh yeah…MAGA brainless Lee.

Mike Lee needs to resign.

Is Mike Lee inferring that MAGA are Marxists? Maga / Tea Party / Extreme Right / Project 2025 are projecting their weakness and lacking onto any and all perceived opponents. If these people point out something problematic in others, they are just using the old school yard tactic “no, you are”

Because that's something stable people say.

And January 6 was committed by Antifa (all of whom Trump pardoned later). Let's see if Trump pardons the Minnesota "Marxist" also.

A sick, evil mind. These people have children who will spend their lives without their parents. Aren’t Mormons all about “family?” Vile.

That’s what I thought—has he completely lost his mind?

Nope This is what happened when Maga doesn’t get its way He was living with a roommate, but also had a wife????? What is it with Maga and living with other adult men? It was maga we have the receipts

Sounds like Warren Jeff's compound.

All these high profile trumpliekkklans are leaning in on violence. Very suspicious 👀 Makes me wonder if they KNOW their roles and plans on playing this out...

Agree . . . bsky.app/profile/vafo...

His eyes looks pretty bloodshot. Does he drink? Is he an alcoholic?

fired

It’s more like when Republicans can’t control a state house and senate they seem to assassinate democrats Mike Lee.

Then the pos Mike Lee posted this...

He hasn’t removed his posts. As if Mike Lee’s weird sweaty face wasn’t enough of a tell.

So Marxists are now voting for Trump?

Wow!

He is so disgusting, such a liar, and not worthy of any respect.

Pinned it? Still ???

Disgusting and this nut job needs to loose his elected position come 2028. Imagine if a dem said this. 😡

This is actual TDS. Ignoring reality because it doesn't line up with their beliefs that an elderly man who spouts hate all day is their savior.

No, this what a republican, trump voting, “ Prolife” “Christian” monster I mean minister goes out to spread the hatred of the extreme Christian conservative/ Christian nationalist interpretation of Exodus 20:13 13 Thou shalt not kill.

Mike Lee needs to be removed from office!

He certainly does

My Senator, Bernie Moreno "The degree to which the extreme left has become radical, violent, and intolerant is both stunning and terrifying"

Censure Mike Lee.

Senators need to call Mike Lee out. Shameful.

He should be censured.

GOP, party of Marx?

You mean Mike Lee's mental illness, I assume.

Mike has never been sorted out properly, apparently.

The disingenuous talking point about this guy being a Marxist is so insulting.

Certainly, it's a sign of Mike Lee's depravity, his total lack of honor, honesty, and integrity, his intellectual bankruptcy, and his self-serving fascism. Now ask what it says about the voters of Utah that they've elected him more than once to represent them.

Perfectly said! Eternal shame on Lee!

I read that differently. Democrats = Marxist in Republican Crazyland, so I think he is basically saying shooting Democrats is how they don't get their way.

Ask him to define Marxism. Thick as two short planks!

Wondering how long a road it'll be before Trump works his way around to pardoning him and appointing him to a job in his admin for "defending the country against Marxism".

And that mental illness would be Antisocial Personality Disorder

Lolz Mike Lee calling MAGA Marxist😂 you can't make this stuff up🤣🤣

The demise of the Rethuglicon party of fascism started with this guy.👇🏾

Fact

I hope Tim Miller is referring to Mike Lee’s mental illness.

Theyre trying to build a narrative with their propaganda

The fact we must contradict this the definition of absurdity…

This man needs an exorcism.

ANY of his colleagues with ANY comment?

Derangement Syndrome.

Mike Lee’s intended audience have double-digit IQs.

Facts.

As does he.

Lee is a total piece of shite

Deep mental illness 🐃💩. That was strategically and hatefully planned.

So, this is now normal? What happened to thoughts and prayers? Instead of the obvious conclusion that this guy was a twisted mess, a trump voter, had a long list of Dems to murder, should not have been allowed to own a gun, and could have been stopped by better police work, we get "Marxism did it"?

This is how they normalized Christianity. They call you evil if you're not religious when MAGA and trump are literally the evil ones, they use the word Christianity to deflect the truth. They claim to believe yet literally aren't following the Bible one bit 😂. Olden days you were hung, called witch

Mike Lee is right, technically. If we had our way there would be mental health treatment for these nutjobs.

It's easy to see why Mitt Romney thought Mike Lee was not worthy of his endorsement.

Mike Lee needs to be censored.

Mike lee needs to be deported.

is he saying Trump voters are Marxists?

He wants to stir up the MAGAts and get them angry enough to assault people, preferably Democrats and anyone else the head white nationalists want harmed.

So MAGA are Marxists? 🤔 #MikeLee

Marx derangement syndrome.

Not surprising that MSM has not called Mike Lee out on this. Further proof that legacy media is dead and the only way to go is independent journalism.

Since the guy was also a massive Trump supporter is he in fact calling himself a Marxist here?

I'm imploring the psychiatric community to develop an assessment that can be given to any people running for public office. Some combination of empathy, cognitive functioning, reality testing; really just the basics to make sure you can actually fulfill your duties of office.

Doesn't "based" Mike Lee believe that God gave a load of teachings to Joseph Smith on golden tablets? Idiot.

Is it actually clear whether this is an accusation or a warning? Who is the „Marxist“ in this setting?

Who is Tim Miller?

He was a Republican, became an Anti-Trump Republican and then left the GOP. He podcasts now.

I believe he was the spokesperson for Jeb Bush

Fascists don’t just need ‘alternative facts’. They need to construct an entirely fictitious alternative universe to justify anything that they say or do.

Mike Lee plays on the fact that a big majority of the American population don't have a clue of what Marxism is. Inbreeding, fake and perverted Christan beliefs and low levels of education have a price. USA of 2025. They just elected a narcissistic rapist to be their president.

There is deep mental illness at the heart of magaland, and it ripples out from the center. Donnie is right now at the G7 spouting off that there would be no war if “Trump” had been elected in 2020, while his various clown performers mouth off in various inane venues.

sry deep mental illness.

Mike Lee is vile

Are reporters confronting him about this?

Exactly who does he think is listening to him. After Saturday's march, it is quite obvious that their lies and misinformation campaign aren't working anymore. Especially now with independent media moving forward in the MSM space, with the help of former news reporters and editors from MSM.

I don’t think it’s mental illness. I think he’s positioning himself for a presidential run in 2028, and he’s imitating the rhetoric of Dear Leader.

Me thinks mike protests too much.

Don’t cut him a break with the “deep mental illness” excuse, an exhausted retread from the nation’s mass-murder-by-personal-artillery crisis. Would it be a deep mental illness if he weren’t a white man? He wields immense power as a sitting U.S. Senator. Hold him to that standard.

Doubt that Mike Lee (or Lauren Boebert, or MTG, etc.) who toss around the term, "Marxist," could tell you what Marxism is. Think it's like "socialism" for them. Equals "bad word." Don't know what it is exactly but it's very bad.

Sadly you make it to the point.

Then, in the same state as this POS if tweeting from, comes a coward with an AR to kill on command at the No King's rally in SLC. Just a coincidence, right? It is beyond despicable to think that you Christofascist terrorists were probably praying this guy was affiliated with the left.

Just a quick update on Betting Odds for when the next time this happens; "Right-wing extremists were just as likely to commit violent acts as those motivated by Islamic extremism, the researchers found. Left-wing extremists were a distant third."

This cited from a research paper in collaboration with four universities examined court records and other data relating to 3,500 extremists active in the U.S. between 1948 and 2022.

But in America it's always been about Right-wing terrorism, rarely left-wing. Since the Weather Underground I can think of 2 incidents, one at a softball practice and the other involving a CEO of a healthcare company(this is still disputed), unless you count chaining yourself to a tree as violence.

People are currently flooding Senator Mike Lee's latest Instagram posts shaming him and calling for his resignation.

Mental illness or not, this is egregious propaganda and a wannabe sane society must develop ways to regulate lies by politicians, regardless of how “deeply and sincerely” they “believe” them.

Strong agree, and I'm optimistic that as individuals and societies we adapt to how easy it is to manufacture false images text and even video now. People need to start #CitingSources !

What the hell happened to Senator Mike Lee. He’s literally lost his marbles.

And deep moral decay.

Mentally ill Maga phsychopath

Spin

Not mental illness but sociopathy as a path to power.

Mike Lee is a member of two cults. Both are highly misogynistic and based on complete bullshit. He isn't a serious human being.

💯

They should bring in a priest to excommunicate this individual before trial and tell him he can't swear on the bible.

Susan Collins is concerned.

Sick and dangerous language

The Republican Democrat moniker needs to be changed. I'm not sure what former Dems and Dem adjacent should use but Repubs need be labeled the authoritarian, autocratic regime. The anti democracy folks in government are either mentally unhinged or weaklings.

Nobody from the mainstream media has the guts to call out Sen. Lee on this. Not one.

They called it out on Morning Joe today. And asked Amy Klobuchar to comment on it. Obviously she was not having it. 🤬

He needs to be asked directly about it.

Klobuchar said she intended to do exactly that. And, yes, I wish it would be on camera too.

And they claim it’s not a cult

Looks like the inmates have taken over the asylum.

Me thinks Mr. lee doesn't have clue what a Marxist is

oh, it's a political matter

Yes, what percentage of federal legislators having "deep mental illness" would be a danger to our county. Lee is not the only one.

What the heck does this even mean? It doesn’t even make sense.

It’s time for a national ethics and behavior standard for elected officials. It’s stupid to govern with these clowns. 🤡

Yes!! 💯 Agree with this

Mike Lee is, and always has been, every bit the ghoul that Miller, Cruz, Rubio, Johnson, etc, etc, are, but he does not get called out for it nearly enough. He's not a milquetoast bumpkin from Utah, he is an absolute loyalist who helped orchestrate the fake slate scheme to overturn an election.

Note: Lee is a Stalinist.

This is what happens when the president has immunity and grants pardons to his fan base.

Dude looks like Uncle Fester

Might I suggest perhaps that it's an indictment of social media. That this kind of behavior is a result of our letting social media algorithms infect pretty much every aspect of our lives.

Hatred will always eat away @ your soul. “Love one another” in spite of differences is not quaint nor old fashioned, it reminds us of our humanity.

So now small business people are Marxist. Amazing world we live in. Capitalism is Marxism according to Mike Lee.

When is the GOP going to call for his censure?

I just read that he’s a cousin of the Udall family. We could use more Udalls and less Lees.

Using that platform is another sign of severe mental illness.

Is Lee's purpose here to get his narrative in first, so that the faithful ignore news reports to the contrary?

Mike is an actual cunt.

Let's DEMAND Lee makes a public apology for his bullshit post.

Wait - he fucking *pinned* it?

Lying is what maga does, as TACO Don guts the country in front of their faces.

The phrase "I always tell the truth, even when I lie” sums this up!!! Putin is their master.

Mike Lee's kompromat must be DEVASTATING

I must be very old and out of the loop on cultural references, because I don't know who's in that photo, or what it "means" in this context. Anyone?

It is a surveillance photo of the guy who shot two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses on Friday night -- BTW, he voted for trump and is anti-abortion and left a list of other Minnesota lawmakers and others whom he wanted to kill. Allegedly religious and did it to be "rewarded"

Also, what a sick fucker. (applies to both murderer and Lee, actually)

yep

Ok thank you, I wasn't sure if it was that murderer or not (I asked about context in case the photo was from a movie or something; I did know Lee's post was about the shootings in Minnesota).

Proof that Mike Lee is retarded cunt!

It's the sign of a Republican. Has anyone in the party condemned this? If not, then it's acceptable political discourse, just as the former RNC chair said of the attacks at the Capitol on 1/6/21.

remember when Limbaugh spouted this exterminationist rhetoric and the GOP elevated him? The GOP been exterminationist for decades and George Conway, god bless him, only really dissented when Trump came along.

The murderer is a registered Republican, Trump supporter and "culture warrior". He's simply the logical extension of Republicans in the 21st Century. Mike Lee is cut from the same political/mental space as this murderer. So of course his Pavlovian response is to project this onto his "enemies".

So this is the person that Utah chose to represent them. What's wrong with these people?

Gee, there’s an awful lot of them in the MAGA republican cult.

Someone named Vance Boulter (not Boelter) on Facebook had this illustration of his philosophy…those Bo✖️lters are F’ed Up.

One day ... and hopefully soon ... we will discover there literally isn't a detox/rehab center big enough to hold all the people who have hit bottom in their respective mental illnesses. We're gonna need more social workers/therapists/psychologists/psychiatrists, etc. 🤞

It's a Vicious Cult!!!

This is what happens when right wing extremists realize another one of their own people is responsible for murder. Denial and gaslighting. But the truth will out. And let’s be fair here - Islamic extremism is also very right wing.

Again, they don’t even know what a Marxist is!!!

Mike Lee is an unhinged sociopath. Crickets from the GOP on his deeply disturbing and sick posts, but not surprising since many of them are sadly also unhinged sociopaths.

Is that Tim Scott?

This is what happens - when a corrupt president pardons violent criminals who attack lawmakers.

Oust that MF

Mike Lee has a new signature: Mike Lee, POS (and POS ain't "Positive")

Tbh, liberal dems can get on one's nerves.

Deplorable too good a word for Mike Lee

if that weren't reason enough... "More than 2 million acres of federal lands would be sold to states or other entities under a budget proposal from Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee..." Loot the economy, buy the lands, repeat. apnews.com/article/publ...

And just like Signal Gate and all the other fuck ups courtesy of this ridiculous administration, it’ll be forgotten cuz the MSM is complicit in the destruction of democracy Rinse and repeat

meaning they get shot and killed?

Mike Lee is mentally ill. He's deeply entrenched in the MAGA movement. Come on, Utah! Be better than Mike Lee.

Well, TBF, Mike Lee is a piece of shit.

Evil and the tech bros want all gone so careful Mr. Lee.🤔 Elon wants new tech order not DEM \ GOP. Why Epstein comment. Expect more tech bro outings.

Dear Mr. Conway, SENATOR Lee cannot be forced into therapy. His UTAH constituents and fellow "Christian cosplayers" have not even tried. Yes, mental illness is a serious matter.

Pet peeve of mine but… They use Marxist as a boogie man waaaay too often. Its gotten repetitive

We talk a lot about US (and sometimes UK/EU) politicians who work for putin. Lee is one of them.

Wasn’t he had the Fourth of July that republicans spent with Putin?

bsky.app/profile/melu...

Where is Keebler Elf Johnson?? Guess this isn’t censure worthy like asking a Senator asking a cabinet member a question then getting thrown to the floor and hand-cuffed. Geesh 🙄🤦‍♀️

What Mike Lee did was deplorable, disgusting, and totally uncalled for by a sitting Senator.

Wasn’t he also involved in the “ Stop the Steal” rallies that lead to the J6 insurrection?

Mike Lee and ISIS…same motivation. MAGA.the former United States of Americas ISIS
