Sen. Mike Lee slammed for disgusting tweets about Minnesota shooting

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee is facing a torrent of criticism after he sent a disturbing tweet about the Minnesota gunman who murdered Democratic state former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and shot Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman, and his wife, Yvette.

On Sunday, as law enforcement officers were searching for the alleged murderer Vance Boelter, Lee tweeted an image of Boelter in the rubber mask he wore when he opened fire on the lawmakers. In text alongside the disturbing image, Lee wrote, "Nightmare on Waltz Street"—a misspelled reference to Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz, who was also on a list of Democratic officials Boelter wanted to kill.

An hour earlier, Lee had also tweeted another image of Boelter in the rubber mask with the text, "This is what happens/When Marxists don’t get their way"—a message he was so proud of he pinned it to the top of his page.

Lee sent the disturbing messages—which try to further the false GOP narrative that is painting Boelter as a Democrat rather than the President Donald Trump-supporting, anti-abortion zealot he is—as other politicians were calling for politicians to tone down the rhetoric in order to avoid encouraging more radicalized people to commit violence against elected officials.

And these Tweets are still up. I left X after getting a suspension for not being nice to Gym Jordan. They wanted me to acknowledge my wrongdoing to which I said hell no.

I don't miss it.
