He has to pretend he doesn't approve of Democrat lawmakers being murdered. For now.

The LDS Church/Utah must tell Gov.Waltz, and the friends and families of 2 Minnesota murder victims what Lee thought was so funny? His party, their Senator, is laughing at murder. His response- to double down? Is this man a Mormon/Utah example of leadership? Recall, ask him to resign. Shame.

Somehow there appears to be mitigation of his of his posts because he subsequently removed them! Please! That is beside the bloody point! That Lee felt empowered to post his offensive posts is the point! Disgraceful!

RESIST OR DEMOCRACY IS DEAD #TRUMP #MAGA #THERESISTANCE One man censured for protesting a budding dictator while a man who glamorized the killing of two members of an opposing political party was pressured to simply remove his posts. Make that make sense. Where are the calls for censure?

Brutal cruelty entertains, emboldens and incites the MAGA base and is the foundation for Felon47's campaign marketing strategy. Felon47 understands the key to his ongoing 37% approval rating is his style of finding humor in brutal cruelty.

The fact that you wrote "backlash from Democrats" is partly to blame for the scenario we're in. You're framing this as if it's a red vs blue issue when this is a violence vs peace issue. Do better.
