Beady-Eyed Wretched Little Smirking MAGAt Troll Dirtbag Mike Lee "deletes tweet after blowback" [View all]
https://www.thedailybeast.com/maga-senator-mike-lee-frantically-deletes-wild-post-after-blowback/Chronically online MAGA Congressman Mike Lee should have just kept this one in the drafts.
The Utah senator, 54, shared a photo on X on Sunday afternoon of masked Mexican cartel members, calling out “leftists” in an attempted double standards gotcha moment regarding the idea that ICE agents should not wear masks to hide their identities.
“Cartel hitmen wear masks,” Lee, from his personal @BasedMikeLee account, wrote. “Leftists aren’t complaining.”
However, the senator was quick to delete his post after a few prominent Democrats responded, calling out how Lee’s argument unintentionally backfired.
“Yes. Cartel hitmen wear masks. That’s why ICE shouldn’t,” wrote Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
