Anyway, they found him in a field.
Again, who this guy Vance Boelter is, its not shrouded in mystery, and its been out in the open from the beginning. Hes one of them. Hes just a typical Republican voter who decided to assassinate some Democrats. Youd think MAGA would be proud of what its wrought. And some of them are, to be sure.
But then there are piece of dogshit Republican senators like Mike Lee who have been lying since the beginning.
@BasedMikeLee: This is what happens When Marxists don't get their way

Why so ashamed, bud?
Youd think considering Mike Lees extremist record, he might already be lobbying Donald Trump for any extra pardons hes got lying around for Boelter.
Vance Boelter is a registered Republican. Hes an anti-gay, anti-abortion pig. Hes a conservative Christian preacher. Basically all the red flag characteristics that say Heres a guy you shouldnt leave your kids alone with, but that MAGA Americans find godly and manly. Again, why is Mike Lee so ashamed? He has a lot in common with this guy! Surprised they arent taking up a collection for this guys legal defense in Mike Lees church. He just reminds us so much of Mike Lee (or any other white Republican loser, they really do all look alike).

(5,832 posts)I'll odds he'll look blankly (like a deer in headlights) before saying "democrats"... for sure, he has no idea what democrats stand for! And ya know.... that's a real shame, cause I think there are a whole lot more out there who have no real idea what our ideology is, or what our party stands for. The republicans have laid down their own narrative for the past 40 years, with barely a whistle against it from anyone with power. Regardless, Magats wouldn't know a Democratic ideal if it hit them over the head or put money in their pocketbook (which it has, many times!) Just as long as gays can't marry, women are forced to carry dead babies to term, and everyone fits neatly into either the male or female gender box. Someone give these people a tour of a maternity ward sometime... maybe they can finally see it doesn't all come out as black and white as they think!

After the murders in Minnesota, Tim Walz called for "grace and compassion and vision and compromise and decency." Some Republicans chose a far uglier course.

Take the increasingly unhinged Sen. Mike Lee, for example. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

As HuffPost noted, one of Morenos far-right colleagues went even further.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) is facing criticism over social media posts mocking this weekends deadly shootings in Minnesota targeting Democratic lawmakers. While the suspected killer was still on the run ... Lee fired off a series of messages. ... One suggested the suspect, Vance Boelter, was into Marxism, despite reports that he was a religious conservative who had attended rallies in support of President Donald Trump.
In a separate online item, Lee showed a photo of the alleged shooter in a mask, alongside the senators message that read, Nightmare on Waltz Street, in apparent reference to Walz.
Lee then pinned one of his tweets which read, This is what happens when Marxists dont get their way, referring to the deadly shootings to the top of his feed for special emphasis.
The obvious problem with garbage like this is that its factually wrong: Everything we now know so far about the alleged gunman suggests that he was an anti-abortion Trump voter, not a far-left Marxist......
But lets not lose sight of the fact that Lees trajectory is emblematic of a larger and unsettling pattern.
In the not-too-distant past, the Utah Republican presented himself as something of a conservative intellectual. He withdrew his Trump endorsement ahead of Election Day 2016, and there was even some discussion that the senator wanted to be considered for the U.S. Supreme Court.
But that was before his descent. A couple of years ago, Lee started amplifying weird allegations from conspiracy theorist Alex Jones InfoWars website. Soon after, the GOP senator endorsed baseless Jan. 6 conspiracy theories. In the months that followed, he pushed AI-generated misinformation as if it were real.
Now, as Bloomberg News Steven Dennis noted, the Utahn has been reduced to online trolling on assassinations.
To appreciate the tragedy of Republican politics in the Trump era, look no further than the devolution of Mike Lee.
