You are still asking fascist to behave 🙄 and thinking you will get results. when are Americans going to wake up?
If Sen Lee R-MAGA) was surprised to be confronted, as Sen Smith says, it's because Sen Lee is a sociopath. He has no sense of right and wrong, no insight, no empathy, no ability to comprehend the existence and consciousness of other people.
She shouldn't have to, this is a grown ass man. Does he really think, as a man, this was okay behaviour, what an effing baffoon. I get Trump has been good at pushing people to behave this way, BUT JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD GROW THE F UP
Is the instrument in the orchestra called a ‘bussoon’?
Mike Lee has proven that at any given moment, he can be the biggest a——- in DC. I’m sure this won’t be the last time he acts this reprehensibly.
….but people like Lee kept getting elected by republicans. Vote all republicans out and start over.
That's why you must confront them all the time every time
Mike Lee seems to be really as dumb as he looks. All you need to be a MAGA candidate is to have the right connections, and be happy to lock lips with dear leaders chocolate starfish
@senmikelee.bsky.social == DISGUSTING PUKE!
Deja vu
What an idiot. Musk is trying to suck up to orange turd now. He's got your money fool, and he has no use for you at the moment.
Musk doesn't know what the truth looks like. He only knows how to spin lies & propaganda. His greatest scam was getting people to believe he is a genius.
Elon Musk is a complete idiot. His little brain is completely fried.
Continue to boycott everything he owns and drive him out of business. Boycott and don’t stop until he’s completely broke.
People need to wait for facts to come out before assuming what happened in a crime like this. Investigations and facts are our friends. Mike Lee's reaction is absolutely ridiculous.
Sen Mike Lee is above the level of the Devil.Sen Lee thinks the Felon president Trump can be a better Mormon prophet than the present prophet because Trump will totally eliminate all non whites from the Mormon Church.
Mike Lee is a vile, privileged POS who’s never been held accountable. It’s surprising he didn’t push or hit Tina Smith. Lee is and has always been a seditionist; also the master mind behind the fake elector scheme (according to January 6th Committee witness testimony).
Tina Smith would have beat his ass. These MAGA show ponies are the biggest candy asses in America.
Mike Lee literally sat wth his mouth hanging open as he was shown (via video) to be a liar about his stance on SS. He claimed to support SS, but the video showed him telling a small group, probably donors, that his goal was to get rid of SS.
The only reason he holds office is that he was democratically elected.
Bullshit. Utah is as gerrymandered as a motherfucker.
Kinda tough to gerrymander a Senate seat.
Correct. Garbage in, garbage out. The Utah voters should take a long look in the mirror.
Stop. 😭
No babe you need to read it again please and then pause. 💕
Mike Lee's kind inspired the guillotine...
I remember reading his statement about democracy a couple years ago, and I thought the back of my head was gonna blow off. This is a sitting senator wanting to take down our standing democracy. Shame on this POS.
What's horrible is that other Republicans have refused to speak out against Mike Lee and instead have fumbled for excuses that they either didn't know what he said or made some weak appeal for less harsh rhetoric. None would condemn the Senator's actual statement. Cowards!
The core of conservatism and the republicans lost their shame a long time ago.
You can't shame pond scum. You can't hold slime mold accountable. You can't pin down ooze. These people are the worst.
How the entire fucking state votes this guy into office says everything you need to know about Utah. Will never visit that state.
Politico is just as responsible as the radical christian cleric that carried out this terrorist assassination. Politico is a spinless access journalist lap dog that never has the courage to speak truth to power. You just grovel for interviews and "both side" lies and the truth. Have you no shame?
The only thing missing is the moustache
Mike Lee is a traitor to our Constitution.
The Marxist Mike talking about himself. Corrupt hypocrite traitor!!!
He needs to go.
Chicken shit runs his mouth online, then cowers when confronted. Another Pussy Ass Bitch, just like Trump!
Utah's Senator Mike Lee, is a pig.
Yep, sick, demented offspring of the murderous Mormans who slaughtered folks at the Mountain Meadows Masscre.
Leave it to Tommy Tuberville, the Republican’s dumbest non-presidential member, to equate it all to sports.
Tina Smith is measurably more courageous than Klobuchar.
He is a POS
Those who think they're the untouchables might be in for some surprises. Lee is a huge proponent of Project 25 and has his eye on the presidency. Ergo the arrogance.
He’s got the right haircut at least
Heartless bastard. You have children seeing the parents bleeding on the floor and Mike Lee thinks this is funny? Mike Lee is religious? What does he worship, blood and death? Utah, you deserve so much better!
We do and we’ve tried to vote him out but there are too many magas in our state.
i'm willing to move
Probably also a ton of gerrymandering and voter suppression, if our own state is any indicator.
Lee is scum….and evidently a coward…..
?
Good, respectful Mormon. /s. He is Cruel, Vindictive, Hateful and embarrassment to the US Senate. In any other time in our country's history, he would have been run out of Congress or made to be inconsequential. Just biding his time.
Is 'Marxists' code for Russian asset, Trump?
Generally, it's code for Jews or any other minority targeted as being secret cabalistic behind-the-scenes manipulators and usurpers of society. "Cultural Marxism" is their favorite snarl phrase that was literally a Nazi propaganda hit on Jews.
Every accusation is a confession.
He is used to living inside the bullshit bubble. He thinks he is protected by t***p's teflon and will never face consequences for his fuckery. #FAFO
Why wasn't every available Democratic lawmaker behind her?
Tuberville is from Alabama.
He’s a disgrace and an asshole!
Obvs he needs more colleagues calling him on his shit
I think those were my exact words when I read this post. 👏👏
Disgusting Nazi fuck
It’s happening more and more. These marxists show up at your door and ask you “do you know our lord and savior Karl Marx? Would you like to live in a world where the means of production belong to the proletariat?”
Almost. Lee implied the murders happened because the victims *were* Marxists.
I wish @politico.com and the rest of the mainstream media would stop carrying water for this violent administration and their unholy agenda. Their violent rhetoric has divided our nation and cause the loss of so many lives. Stop bowing down!!!
Of course he seemed surprised. Fragile, white, male egos are always surprised. Bless his little heart. Poor thing. Show us on the doll where the assertive woman hurt you.
he should be expelled from the Senate, and barred from holding any political office in the future.
The sad part is that Mike Lee was surprised to be confronted. These arm chair tough guys in Congress would shrivel if they were called out face-to-face every time they talked out of their ass.
And that is exactly what needs to be done. No feeding the xitter trolls. Nothing is more embarrassing to them than being confronted by their peers face to face.
Exaclty what needs to be done.
Spot on. Every one of them.
These days, Congress just seems to be full of assholes.
Senator, I don't think the state of Utah, the state of the Mormons didn't teach you that. In any case, you've lit a fire, that'll remain burning . That was disgusting, blaming Democrats for the attack. You need to go, since you don't have the balls to apologize to the state of Minnesota
I can’t believe my LDS friends from Utah would ever endorse an immoral and insensitive jerk like this. Lived there for 6 years and knew GREAT people who would NEVER put up with his inflammatory speech and nastiness.
Oh I believe that. But it shows how they will go, to elect a pathetic, tired, sychophant
So why do they let it happen.
Still living in Utah. I’m so ashamed of him. Embarrassment
And you have every right to be. So let me ask you, Why do y'all keep voting for him?
Too bad Lee has no compassion, no conscious!
Don’t forget you are dealing with some of the sickest people on the planet. They wouldn’t be doing what they are if they weren’t.
People are too used to not getting punched in the face
In this day of keyboard warriors, he would be surprised to know that he spoke fightin words. Get your gloves on dude 🥊
I live in Utah Mike Lee is a complete incompetent asshole kick him out of the senate
Please contact your neighbors thank you
I heard he doesn't wipe after pooping.
He needs to be expelled
Unfortunately, Lee isn't up for reelection until 2028. Utah, do you really want someone like Mike Lee representing you in congress? You CAN do better. Get rid of him!
Look at his pugnacious, head jutted forward posture against a smaller, non-aggressive, polite female. In the Senate hallways, he’s menacing a colleague. POS!
Weak men, can’t deal with strong women.
Democrats need to normalize confronting these people when they act like Lee.
They should refer to him as Senator “shitstain on humanity” Mike Lee until he either apologizes or is censured.
That’s because he’s a coward. It’s easy to be shitty on line and then you only read the posts that cheer you on.
Mike Lee is an evil little guy who is caught up in the MAGA nonsense. He’s also a pig.
Do the people of Utah know their Senator spends his entire workday on Twitter, engaged in pissing contests w/Russian bots? Is that what they are paying him for?Bc my Senators are working for me & my fellow Oregonians. I know that bc they frequently bring drafted legislation to the floor & they/1
Actively participate on committees engaged in oversight. Nobody knows where Mike is or what the hell he’s doing, until now. /2
Good. I have called his office three times and told him how disgusting his posts are. A domestic terrorist. He is basically being a domestic terrorist.
Good for you 👍🏼
They say these outrageous things and when they are confronted, they cower like a little girl that lost her puppy.
Besides insinuating that little girls are weak, the analogy makes no sense.
Can we lay off comparing the R’s to girls/women as if it was one of the most horrible things on the planet?
As a fellow Midwesterner, the thing that truly stands out to me most is that he didn't apologize to her. I can't imagine doing what he did, but refusing to apologize when confronted is beyond the pale. Every Minnesotan should be beyond furious regardless of their politics.
Mike Lee: I'm not allowed to say that publicly yet? My bad.
Empty cans make the most noise, and this can is real empty.
Where was he radicalized? Is he mentally able to continue on? He seems to have a mental breakdown…
If anyone says that Mike Lee is a shitbag, though, there is no apology necessary for speaking the truth.
Mike Lee reveals just how much of a TERRORIST wannabe he is? Makes Joe McCarthy look like a Boy Scout.
Mike Lee is a piece of shit and so is anyone who supports him.
He should be fired on the spot
He’s a low life
@senmikelee.bsky.social #coward
It is a stain of pure shame on the people of Utah to have Mike Lee as their Senator. He tweets more than he thinks for damn sure!
Good for her. Mike Lee is a psycho.
BTW Markwayne Mullin can go f*** himself over the "both sides need to turn down the heat" comment. The hell we are living in has been stoked by Republicans for decades.
When he says both sides, he means one side.
I’m an independent and you are absolutely right
Also, Chip Roy. He gives an actual criticism of repubs, tbf, and always ends with "but at least we're not democrats!" They're all eternal teenagers. They feel no true accountability to themselves or those around them.
The Republican party isn't terrible enough for Chip Roy...
That’s just what MAGA expects us to do…. Be nice.
Guy who wanted to fight the Teamsters president before they settled it in a Men’s bathroom somewhere.
Asked about Lee’s reaction, Smith said, “Honestly, he seemed a little surprised to be confronted.” That tells you everything you need to know. These people are sociopaths
The fact that he's surprised that she confronted him speaks to her level of pathetic inactivity up to this point. She should have broken down his door to confront his cowering ass 20 minutes after he made that first tweet.
Mike Lee is just another Republican POS.
No plans to set foot there.
bsky.app/profile/gajw...
Mike Lee is scum of the earth.
Good
Did she kick him in the nuts?
Mormons don't believe in "Do unto others..." many are terrible human beings.
Mike Lee is in the wrong and it’s shameful. I’d have slapped him if I had been Senator Smith. Tommy Tuberville is a native of AR, resides in FL, represents AL in the Senate, but I can’t connect him to OK.
his brother lives in OK.
I see Politico corrected the article. 👍
Maybe that’s where the article got the connection to call him the Senator from OK. TY!
It’s time to confront them all every time they do this
exactly !!! of course he was surprised because Democrats aren’t pushing back. They should be pushing back at every level with every person who opens their stupid mouth and says something insane like this.
It's past time. Let them have it.
What people like Tina Smith don’t understand is that narcissistic authoritarians don’t reflect, they escalate. We are not in a “discourse.” We are in a psychological siege. And every polite appeal to his humanity is just more proof to him that you’ll never fight back.
You must Never underestimate a Narcissist, Never !!
He won't reflect, but if people in his own party did the same he would change his tune Narcissists care about their image and what people think about them, but only the opinions of the people that matter to them
Narcissists rarely respond to appeals to empathy or morality. Instead, they modify behavior only when consequences become real and unavoidable, what clinicians call contingency awareness or external motivation scaffolding. Totally lacking in US politics. Unlike sociopaths, they're plentiful
True
FUCK Mike Lee. Piece of fascist shit
She gives zero fucks.
Vote them all out! The republicans face no consequences for their behavior. Instead they are rewarded by being re-elected. Americans need to hold them responsible
Why are Democrats silent, too?
They’re not silent. This is an outrage.
I don't hear any calls for censure or expulsion. I just don't.
I’ve heard the Dems.
he did not just become a piece of shit, he has always been one!
Looks like the rat man in Harry Potter. What a lowlife. Utah is so beautiful yet it sends this ugly specimen to the Senate.
Beautiful in natural resources. Is there anything else?
💔🤬Lee is Vile.
Did Senator Smith confront Lee by telling him to go fuck himself? Anything else is a waste of time!
What a MAGAT Asshat
Why are there so many republican idiots? That's so hateful and MAGA.
Everyone needs to hold this creep responsible.
What would impact Mike Lee? www.reddit.com/r/fuckmikele...
"Rather than calling his office, getting neighborhood's to speak about his Russian-created conspiracy theories, and his ugly social media, and his influence on taxes "far beyond King Noah levels" and his support of Trump becoming a king is what is needed."
"Because in Utah, The Church is The State"
I hope she gave him a piece of her mind.
It’s time they got a lot more surprises!
Stark example of the clearly depraved in the highest levels of USGOV being paid w/taxpayer dollars. The ☆ssbackwards Caucus, supported by the ☆ssbackwards Media filled w/☆ssbackwards PPL. Absolutely w/o exception of any kind. Dystopia in the Un-United States of America. #Midterms26 11/03/26
Notice it’s always a woman who’s standing up for what’s right yet, America won’t elect one as president.
He's a disgusting pIg
Oh, another entitled, privileged wh*te guy not recognizing his 💩? Just another Monday.
Mike Lee looks exactly like what I flushed this morning!!!!
My God the whole Senate should be confronting him.
Talk about someone deserving of censure.
Not those cowards!
@reed.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov
True
Absolutely
Bastard, you should be sued and lose your job, period!
I hope she asked him to define Marxism
Mike Lee is what is wrong with this country along with the people who put him there
Mike Lee is one DERANGED Dude!... Remove his SICK, Sorry Ass, Utah!... He brings NO Good to the State of Utah! 😡🤪🤪
🥴
Ya he was surprised due to the amount of arrogance in his heart and brain.
Mike Lee is a degenerate
I give her credit for not punching him in the throat and then pulling his lungs out through his nose. She’s a much better person than I am. He’s a waste of oxygen.
She did display restraint.
"Lee’s Republican colleagues generally declined to criticize him directly for the posts, .." Well, of course they did. They're no different. 🤨
Mike Lee is scum
Go @smith.senate.gov Mike Lee is a vile piece of shit.
Could also pointedly ask him about his principal role in the fake electors plot.
I can't find his denunciation of threatening peaceful protesters with AK47 in his state.
May he one day understand, personally, why his words are beyond inappropriate.
Ah of course, the boogeyman of fascists
He’s vile and should be removed from the Senate immediately
This POS needs to be removed!
Tina - He thinks he’s a Mormon God.
Mike Lee’s cruelty is despicable.
The guy who would cancel Medicare & Social Security for Utahns is still a Senator? Now making jokes about the murder of Minnesota legislators? How many jokes did he make when Utah was hit with flood disasters? www.youtube.com/shorts/8R3w-...
Wait we arent still pretending the shooter was a Trump supporter are we?
You're missing a "not", MAGAt. Everyone that met this violent, anti-choice lowlife knew he was a Trumper. And you know it too, basement boy. #Muted
Oh ok so walz just appointed him anyways. We know what that committee did.
Mike Lee is a fucking dick qwad! He can kiss my liberal ass! No tongue please. If he wants shit in his mouth, cozy up to the traitorous orange, fat, turd thing that leads their stupid dumb ass cult. Pussy!
The entire senate should be outside his door until he resigns or goes for a mental evaluation. Give him two choices not a third
100%
take him out in a straitjacket
Call his bluff call a 5150 psych hold
Mr. Lee is despicable!!
It’s was a maga cult member who was responsible. How stupid are these maga people like this guy? Does he have any clue about anything? What an ignorant clueless bastard.
Bullies usually are confused when people stand up to them
WTF Dems!?! Why aren’t we blasting this and everyone call him a fucken douche bag in person and on camera?
They are banking on no one knowing Marxist theory… because if they did… they’d understand we are getting fucked by politicians that are beholden to capitalism at all costs.
What an A hole. Why are you in office sir? Speaking of the Dead like that? No Morals, No respect, No values. God's wrath is upon YOU.Same as. Cheeto man and his Magats. 😐❤️✨✝️🙏🏾💪🏾🇺🇲
WOW!!! A sad and very disgusting piece of human being. A disgrace to the human race. Just like Cheetoman and his Magats. A waste of air. 😐☮️❤️✨✝️🙏🏾💪🏾🇺🇲💪🏾🇺🇲
he and Mike Johnson need to form a mouthy moron club.
Marxists = anyone who is not a medieval fascist addicted to Golden Shower
Well, now we know the man was a Trump lover, so Lee can jam the Marxist bullshit up his ass.
*back* up his ass, considering that's where he pulled it from.
LEE IS A TWO BIT BULLY FROM A LONG LINE OF BULLIES
Mike Lee is such a dirtbag
Look at this guy! What do you expect from someone like him.
He’s just entering the first phase of the confrontations he should get the rest of his career. That son of a bitch making light of this couples murder is a stain on the Senate, on the LDS church, on his state, and certainly on the idiotic Republican Party. Anybody with a heart repudiates this.
Mike Lee should be publicly shamed everywhere he goes. He should have no peace.
Not only an ugly asshole trumpist but also a dead-wrong idiot too.
Cuz he’s a PAB
SENATOR LEE YOU ARE DISGUSTING/DISGRACING! YOU MUST HAVE LOST YOUR SENSITIVITY CHIP IN YOUR BRAIN SINCE YOU BECAME A MAGA TRUMPSTER! youtu.be/PtbumqK78nA?...
There isn’t Republican alive in this country who has any sensitivity. Every one of them are a heartless motherfuckers.
Almost as disturbing as his comments, is the fact that he was surprised at Smith’s reaction in confronting him. What’s wrong with him?
time to send him to his private planet, he can go on a musk rocket with musk
What was his response, if any? Any word from the repug senators that work with this POS?
Tina did a righteous act. Personal, face to face, intervention with a callous bully. She is spot on in the solid reasons why it needed to be done. And frankly done over & over to anyone who is this wreckless with their position in government. Everybody take note & take a lesson from Tina Smith.
Mike Lee should be confronted everyday and if it could happen on TV even better. Hold these NAZI MAGA CULT to the untruth horrible things they say to hoping to damage the Democrats. The NAZIs MAGA CULT are the people causing chaos and spewing lies. Dems be forceful on hold them to ALL THE LIES.
Confrontation won’t work because he doesn’t give a crap
The fact that he was surprised someone confronted him speaks volumes.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, claims to be an upstanding Latter-day Saint Christian. He should practice what he preaches and stop the hateful, hurtful tweets.
Well Mike!!! Your a senator? So what are u saying, ur colleagues are congressmen, congresswoman… MIKEY!! Tone down your fucking rhetoric … asshole!
It's in his blood. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D....
Did you read the number of spouses this clown had?
He needs to resign and go crawl back in the hole he came from
Sorry bastard
Punctured that Nazi bubble he exists in.
If the situation is reversed, I’m sure GOP would have demanded at least a censure if not a resignation. And what if the shooter turns out to be a Trump supporter?
Everyone, including his constituents should be reminding him that this is not OK.
Being from Utah, his views don’t surprise me. Imo, the reason he continues to get elected is because the majority of Utahn’s hold the same beliefs and views. He’s a Trump bootlicker and a jackass. #SenMikeLee #Trump #MAGA
Isn’t he a political Nepo baby too?
Yes he is.
Correct
…and white mormon men are not to be criticized in utah…
Exactly. Follow and obey with blind faith.
Not only should the arrogant piece of crap, Senator Lee be called out. Everyone of his republican colleagues that don't step up and condemn him should be too.
Mike Smith represents Utah and the Mormons. When people see Mike they see LDS.
Little Dick Syndrome?
Coward Lee Posing for MAGA
Moron
He’s a monster.
Sometimes, it seems like they don't realize how public their stupidity is.
Coward
Mike Lee was once respected. No longer. What a shameful & disrespectful attack on the integrity of the police & FBI as they clearly produced evidence of the assassin's background, interests & politics. Lee should resign.
They often act surprised when someone points out their failures.
It's so based to talk shit online and then turn tail and run when confront about it, am I right boys?
Why is she alone?
I wouldn't waste any time trying to talk to him about what he posted. I would spend my time pushing for his resignation.
Too bad she did not kick him in the nuts
First thing that came to my mind.
He doesn't have any
It was an asinine statement and lie he spoke.
He should be expelled immediately.
This is the Evangelical/Mormon Party of Donald Trump, lying is among their only skill sets.
The Mountain Meadows Massacre was the true story of a wagon train attacked by Mormon settlers dressed as Native Americans who wanted to scare non-Mormons from coming through their territory. They massacred the adults and turned the kids into slaves. briankeithohara.blogspot.com/2013/02/bill...
Yep,
This idiot needs to GO!!!
"He seemed surprised" bc they've become immune to their roll playing. It's as if they've been trained to "forget diplomacy & humanity, be the biggest dick you can be." Well, now we know & can act accordingly.
Thank you. Exactly my thoughts. The logical next step (in this sick cult playbook) seems to be for gop Senators to call for the assassination of democrats.
Maybe Deplorable Mike Lee might change if the nightmare confronted him and his family? Maybe?
He’d be crying foul for a world less
DRAG HIS ASS
Mike Lee gets out of bed every morning with the single goal of being the biggest bag of dicks on the planet.
Typical RepubliCLOWN.
“Smith’s personal confrontation was among a wave of criticism directed at Lee from Democrats.” We need more than a wave of criticism. We need his resignation. This is an elected official mocking a political assassination and murder.
They think the problem with this is the fact he misinformed people about the person being a lol Marxist The American Press are demented
And he will scurry into a corner until the “wave of criticism” is forgotten, lost in the next outrage.
Censure Mike Lee! His colleagues need to call him out on his egregious behavior.
Right… they are calling for Alex Padilla to be censured for trying to ask a question then getting dragged off by SS and FBI to be abused but they won’t go after Mike Lee for suggesting the democrats deserve to be violently killed.
