Senator Mike Lee, direct descendant of John D. Lee, leader of the Mormon militia that perpetrated the Mountain Meadows Massacre… John D. Lee was executed by firing squad in 1877 on the same ground that he massacred those 120 men, women and children. Just to provide some context…
Those are some shitty genes.
Thanks for that.
Seems it would be useful for that context to be provided in a Senate floor speech at some point.
Huh. Context is even worse than I expected
Wow. The apple and the tree
Wow! Didn't know, thanks. The Mountain Meadows Massacre. An ACTUAL false flag---to blame Indigenous people.
Didn't mean I didn't know about the MMM. But that I didn't know about Lee's connection to it. Makes sense . . .
Yes, that was the other repellent aspect - trying to make it look like it had been done by local tribes.
Not enough people know about the MMM. I suppose folks around there do. The Lakota called Mormons "Gray Men," though I'm not sure why.
The TV miniseries, American Primeval, includes scenes from the MMM.
Is it any good? At all?
😳 I didn't know that. Thank you for sharing.
I did not know the executed at the site part. I knew about the massacre tho. Thanks for the info.
The late Will Bagley wrote a very good book on it.
Its such a terrible piece of history. I might check out that book tho, thanks.
Lee apparently inherited the lack of empathy or compassion from his murderous ancestor.
And lack of fucking brains
...who got to live 20 years longer than his victims. Like Brigham Young, he has bazillions of descendants in and around Utah. Polygamy and fathering kids with most them will do that.
Elon must be a mormon
You misspelled moron
The best way to get laid is to start your own church😉
You mean CULT. But you're not wrong.
I totally read it as moron. 😂
What's the difference? 🤷♀️
🙋
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bitch and coward you mean?
If I were writing a screenplay, I know exactly how this story would end.
Well that apple didn't fall far from the tree...
I believe “American Primeval” on Netflix is based on this incident.
😳. That dna is apparently strong.
Hoping Mike Lee meets the firing squad after being convicted of treason.
Wow. What a horrible legacy.
