Sen. Tina Smith says she confronted Sen. Mike Lee over his 'cruel' social media posts about the Minnesota shootings

WASHINGTON — Sen. Tina Smith, D-Minn., said Monday that she confronted Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah over his social media posts about the suspect in shootings that killed a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband.

Smith said she confronted Lee after his “cruel” posts Sunday, in which he included a photo of the suspect and wrote, “this is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way.”

“I wanted him to know how much pain that caused me and the other people in my state and I think around the country, who think that this was a brutal attack,” Smith told reporters in the Capitol.

She added that Lee needed to hear from her “directly” and think about the “impact his actions had.”

Repeatedly sticking his nose in Trump's ass has damaged Lee's brain.

Has he removed the posts? He hadn't as of this time yesterday. What a vile, despicable person he is.

Boelter is a "Marxist"? Dems are "Marxists"?

You put a real POS in office, Utah. Just because he's a Momo.

No clue, though. I'm in Western WA and I try not to think about that religion.
