Lee is mormon royalty and has skated so long on his family connections and deep history in Utah that he’s concluded nothing be does will hurt him there. Be interesting to see if he’s the MAGA type to actually suffer consequences.
I don't understand Mormon voters. Ok, I get they're just going to elect Republicans to every state-wide office, but why do they stick with a MAGA wannabe like Lee? More "normal" Republicans like Romney still gave them the conservative votes they wanted ... why put up with the clown show? 🤔
Because they also watch Fox News 24/7.
Now let's see if Lee issues an apology of any kind beyond removing his posts.
About time someone did. Take his magic underwear and kick him out of the temple. No planet for you!!
I never heard of this idiot before this tragedy. May he be tossed in the dustbin of history.
He's just awful. Even by current GOP standards, and that's saying a LOT.
oh shit, he's in trouble now lol
What is the conversion to the Susan Collins is concerned-ometer?
His support won’t budge in this state. Doesn’t matter one bit.
Do you know if he was still a member even before this? Several people on Twitter tagged the church with his statements.
Yeah, that’s about as close to outright condemnation as you’re going to get in Utah. Making “The Church” look bad is a cardinal sin (sorry for the mixed metaphor), and folks need to emphasize just how much damage this kind of “leadership” does to the Church’s image.
And it definitely makes them look just as bad as the craven Evangelicals
👀
Yeah, this is about as passive aggressive that you're going to get unless a leader from the Church attends his congregation and says "Brother Lee..." after clearing his throat.
The Deseret News is fascinating because it's a legit news outlet that can also function as an LDS conduit.
I’ll believe it when they elect someone else as Senator.
Do they cover all the other shitty things Lee had said and done? Or have they just ignored all those other shitty things because Mormon?
I'm sure he's done plenty of cruel and shitty things the Mormon church supports, too.
I mean the point clearly isn't did he DO bad things but did he publicly lose face, which clearly he did, especially after Smith called him out. which, again: brava.
