A few days after attempting to clean up his “worst briefing” comment regarding the Trump administration’s briefing on the strike that killed top Iranian military official Qasem Soleimani last week, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) seems to have added to the mess.
This is just trivia, but Utah is a R+20 state.
The chimp is Lee, but he ain’t grinning.
Lee knows that †Я☭mp is full of shite, but refuses to say so…like everybody else with an R attached to his/her name.
What will be interesting are the future self-justifications for such behavior we see every day from the Rs. Deliberate or ignorant? Savvy or stupid? Fearful or cowardly? etc.
Exactamente. Just like rMoney, he could go big and bold and still win reelection into infinity
Lee went out of his way to defend Trump, while throwing Pompeo to the wolves, apparently not realizing consequences of decisions rests with the leader of the government.
A large plurality of Americans were already skeptical of the bellicosity of Trump’s actions, and this will add more fuel to that fire.
Curious to me that Lee chose to do these very public interviews when he could have just stayed home.
I mentioned it in a conversation about Gaetz, but Trump loves grudges and that’s dangerous for guys who don’t see themselves as the next Mark Sanford.
“Look, I have not yet been able to ascertain really specific details as to the imminence of the attack.
Behind an eminence front
Eminence front, it’s a put on
It’s an eminence front
It’s an eminence front, it’s a put on
(Imminence/eminence don’t chide me when I can work in song lyrics and video.)
He could, but he could also get on Trump’s s— list and that’s a bad spot to be.
"When Tapper asked Lee whether Trump’s claim that there was a threat against four U.S. embassies was brought up during last week’s briefing, Lee said he “didn’t hear anything about that” and that “several of my colleagues have said the same.”
OOOOPPPPPSSSSS !!!
How soon does Mike Lee become a non-person for this, unwelcome at the White House and the object of insulting tweets?
It’s already happened to Trump superfan Matt Gaetz. He had the temerity to vote with the Democrats for Congressional approval for a war with Iran. He’s now persona non grata at the White House and Trump won’t take his calls.
“Look out, look out, here it comes, Heartache no. 9.”
“Curious to me that Lee chose to do these very public interviews when he could have just stayed home.”
Maybe but maybe not. The women of UT have never liked trumPP because he offends their religious beliefs and have since day one and didn’t vote for him. But if UT congress critters don’t even try to take a defiant stand against him we’ll never know, and they sure as hell don’t want to get trashed on Twitter by him.
This is a little dated, but I suspect most of it is still accurate.
62% of female voters disapprove of Trump’s job performance.
67% of women say Trump should not get another term.
@dont FYI
Hey Mike Lee and Rand Paul let this be a lesson.
He also threw a gratuitous slam at Obama about the Benghazi briefing being the #1 worst, a must-do for anyone attempting to stay in Trump’s favor.
They’re all cowards and quislings, and not listening to constituents and the vox populi in general by surrendering to the Tweeter In Chief without a fight.
That and the LDS isn’t exactly in Spankee’s column.
Lees phone was on vibrate and he read that text.
“Obama about the Benghazi briefing being the #1 worst,”
Donnie still doesn’t realize that US Embassy bombings are a BAD thing.
He wants to instigate a new record.
Lee’s position appears to be a confused muddle. On one hand, he congratulates Trump for showing “restraint” in staying out of wars in a manner superior to any other President, but then states it was right and proper to kill Suleimani and that it made Americans safer.
If he thinks we can kill a senior government leader of a powerful Middle East nation without consequences, he’s sadly mistaken. While it probably won’t lead to a direct war, our bases, troops, infrastructure, and even ordinary citizens are now at risk.
