The editorial board of a publication in Sen. Mike Lee's home state of Utah called on him to apologize for his posts about the Minnesota shootings, writing that they “were unacceptable for anyone, let alone from a member of the Senate.”
Replies
The R voters of Utah voted for him. Knowing there are Utah Congress members who share the same thoughts as Lee, the test is- Will they reelect these ppl?
