Originally published at: Tina Smith Calls Out Mike Lee’s Rancid Social Media Posts
A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo. Sign up for the email version. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) was among the worst culprits of trying to muddy the waters around the weekend assassination spree of Vance Luther Boelter in Minnesota – and Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN) was having none…
Good goddam morning to you all!
Good for Tina Smith! Someone needed to remind these RW asses that their cruelty has been noted and doesn’t play well, and that maybe they could show an iota of humanity in the face of tragedy.
That was my first thought too. Good on her and her staff for that email. Lee’s people should be mightily ashamed of themselves.
Unfortunately, the entire right wing is filled with ghouls, and they probably laughed it off because they “owned the libs”.
No mention of the serial public humiliations heaped on the First Felon on Sunday at his parade fiasco (and No Kings demonstrations involving 11 million or so protesters) and at the G7 yesterday. His rage-retaliation will be epic.
And for confronting Lee in person. That takes guts but has a much bigger impact on the person being confronted. Bullies like Lee aren’t used to being called on their ugly behavior.
Even the Iranians know that a deal with Trump is worthless. Bibi and our Iran hawks have been itching to attack Iran for a couple of decades. Bibi and Tom Cotton were instrumental in Trump’s shit-canning the JCPOA deal in 2018. Trump deal? - No Deal at all.
You can deny the existence of Climate Change but Climate Change is still gonna get you. There are no “safe areas”.
Hope it triggers a major infarct - he’s overdue.
Madness!
I think she is mistaking indifference for stunned.
Is Mike Lee capable of feeling compassion?
- Yes
- No
- Can’t tell
Everyone except the MAGAnauts are aware that a contract with iDJiT isn’t worth the ink consumed in signing it. Knowing that, how much less is a ‘deal’ with him worth?
Here come the nukes!
