This really is the state of the Credentialed Media: they couldn’t spend any time actually investigating Biden’s mental decline, instead they just decided to cover it up. They can’t be bothered to investigate the terrible waste, graft, and abuse in federal spending. Or links between people like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib with Islamic extremism. Or Nancy Pelosi’s stock purchases. Or so much more. Instead
Mike Lee Can’t Stop Throwing Social Media Grenades. His Church Isn’t Happy.
It was Father’s Day morning, but Mike Lee was still hard at work on social media.
Just before 11 o’clock, Lee posted an image of Vance Boelter, the man charged with murdering two Minnesota lawmakers a day earlier. “This is what happens,” Lee captioned it, “when Marxists don’t get their way.” Ten minutes later, he posted again. “Nightmare on Waltz Street,” he wrote, suggesting that Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz was to blame for the grisly murders.
Lee’s posts generated near-instant national backlash. His mentions filled with people calling on him to resign. Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith, a Democrat, cornered Lee at the U.S. Capitol the next night and gave him an earful. So did Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar, another Minnesotan. A top aide in Smith’s office wrote a letter to Lee’s staffers rebuking them for “making jokes” to “compound people’s grief.”
Once the link between Boelter and Waltz was established, outlets like Politico worked hard to show that he wasn’t one of their own, rather than showing the reality. Let’s not forget that. Oh, and Tina and Klobuchar tweet a lot, and are good with Blamestorming. Here’s Tina being moonbat
If Trump were a king Tina wouldn’t be allowed to post this. Anyhow
It wasn’t just Washington that was buzzing over Lee’s response to the tragedy. It also set off a debate in Salt Lake City. At the global headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a discussion over how to respond — if at all — began in earnest, according to two people granted anonymity to discuss private conversations. Several of the church’s senior leaders saw the posts and were concerned. Lee is a prominent Latter-day Saint, arguably the best-known elected Church member in the nation. His insensitive words were reflecting poorly on the faith at large. One church official estimated the backlash from Lee’s posts would have severe repercussions for the church’s public image, the first person said.
I had no idea Mike was a Mormon. Did you? But, anyhow, a whopping two people, who, as usual, are anonymous. This is a long, long, long piece, which delves into all sorts of stuff, but, really doesn’t say much. It’s a hit piece, one which Politico would never do on a Democrat. Nor is there any real detail about the Mormon church being unhappy with Lee, just rumor and assertions from Politico.
Moonbat Mr teach defends Senator Mike Lee’s (R-UT) outrageous mocking of the politically motivated assassinations of two Dem politicians in Minnesota. Lee did himself no favors except with the vileness wing of the Repubicun Party, i.e., MAGAt sycophants like Mr teach.
Moonbat teach even echoed the false claim that the assassin was a left-winger! But then lies are the currency of MAGAtism.
Not to mention that Lee, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (aka the Mormon Church), casting a poor light on the Church.
Why did the good Senator remove the posts?? Like his Leader, Deteriorated Donnie, Senator Lee spends a lot of time on social media.
It’s clear that Sen Lee is MAGA to the core and is luxuriating in the approval of his cult followers.
Former Senator Mitt Romney is a member of the Church, and is/was NOT far-right or MAGAt.
My litle brother was a Mormon until he found out his “girlfriend” was banging the ward Bishop! She WAS good looking.
As usual, since it’s politico, it’s likely just fiction. No need to read it. Once you lose all credibility, you don’t just get it back by insisting you are telling the truth THIS TIME.
Commenter:
This is the objective of the MAGAt Movement – to preach to all that information is questionable if not even false! Only Dear Leader is to be believed!!
Pelosi ‘s stock buying is public knowledge. There is an app that you can use to buy the same shares she and her multi millionaire husband trade. It is called Autopilot.
Generally Mormons take a compassionate view towards immigration
As do Jews
As do Catholics.
As fo Buddists
The King James Bible speaks quite clearly on this,saying that strangers must be treated as equals.
But of course culture trump’s religion
Does your religious tenets impact your views on migrants ?
Yes, legal immigration- Johnny-hairy-smith
Mr teach lambastes the media:
House MAGAts are investigating all those issues! Uncredentialed outlets (FOX, the Cove, The Pudendum, Daily Wire…) have dogged all these serious issues!
Are they investigating trump’s obvious mental decline? Who wrote those EOs, certainly not trump. (Russell Vought, Stephen Miller, Elon, compliant lawyers). On the policy side, Donnie Demento is just following orders (except for his stupid tariffs).
