A day after saying that the Trump administration’s briefing on the strike that killed top Iranian military official Qasem Soleimani was the “worst briefing” he’s seen, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) attempted to clean up his comments in an interview with Breitbart Thursday.
“I applaud this President, I support this President,” Lee told Baier. “He’s been fantastic, he’s been unprecedentedly deferential to the American people and restrained in his use of command in chief power more than any other President in my lifetime.”
… “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to meet with Sen. Susan Collins in our secret love nest. We have a lot of canoodling to get through before planning next steps.”
Should any of us be surprised? Feckless dullards, the lot of them.
As I predicted, that didn’t took long, a little bit of prayer and he saw the majesty of the Chosen One again.
They may find them briefly, but it never takes long for them to hand their balls back over to Trump.
Crawl, worm.
So who had 24 hours in the betting pool that Lee would try and mitigate his comment?
Wonder who had the job of reminding him that the proper response is always either Benghazi, Obama, or Butter Emails?
I gotta admit, I was snowed. I truly believed at least one Republican grew a spine and supported country over party (Rand Paul never counts). Silly me.
The GOP mob enforcers got to him.
Did anyone watch to see if Lee blinked twice? Doesn’t that mean that some Rethuglican is holding a member of Lee’s family hostage?
“Nice Senate seat you got there, buddy - be a shame if something happened to it…”
Lee to Trump: “Thank you, sir. May I have another?”
Walk Back Hard: The Mike Lee Story
If he walked it back any harder he’d be in traction. It’s always good to remember that the first response is almost always the most honest one.
This is just more evidence that the Republican party is absolutely depending on Trump to carry them through the 2020 election (by getting his rabid base out to vote), and anything that may cast any doubt on that will get smacked down, hard. The process around impeachment and the Republican shenanigans should be seen in that light at all times.
I guess he got a call from McConnell
This
Primary ?
You bet
No Funding ?
You bet
What is it about the orange one’s dick, that women are disgusted by it but so many gop men want it in their mouths?
I love how the whole notion of governing, agenda, policies, is now a quaint one for the GOP. Who needs ideas when you can have 40% of the population voting for you in order to own the libs.
Well, now we know how long at a time Sen. Lee has visitation rights with his spine.
Someone must have threatened to withhold his lollipops.
