U.S. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), an ally to President Donald Trump, is in hot water over a social media post.
Lee on Sunday took to X and posted a photo of a man accused of posing as a police officer and shooting two Democratic lawmakers and their spouses.
Along with the image, Lee confusingly wrote, “This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way.”
It is confusing because I’d guess there are no Marxists in office anywhere in the USA. But then he’s not totally wrong… If Marxists got their way, Trump supporters probably wouldn’t be emboldened to murder anyone who leans further left than Bush. Technically, it’s a pro-Marxist message.
I thought he was saying the killer was a Marxist. Which is obviously false but aligns with the Republicans’ utter refusal to understand words.
