Utah Sen. Mike Lee, who is on Donald Trump's lengthy short list for Supreme Court nominees, revealed Wednesday that he voted for independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin.
"It was a protest vote," he told an audience at the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute in Salt Lake City, acknowledging he didn't know McMullin well, or much about him.
"I had signaled in the past concerns that I had with my party's nominee. I've made no secret about that and I don't feel any desire to rehearse those now.… I saw in Evan McMullin an opportunity to register a protest vote."
Lee previously has said he would not vote for Trump, but until Wednesday declined to say who would get his vote.
McMullin finished third in Utah, behind Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Utahans need to kick Lee out at the next opportunity. We didn’t replace Bennett with him just so he could turn into another Bennett.
The LDS mindset has a very serious worldview problem.
Why?

CC @ChatByCC 6h6 hours ago More Utah Senator Mike Lee voted for fellow Never Trumper Evan (McMuffin) McMullin in the presidential election. Those saying President Trump is considering nominating Mike Lee for SCOTUS to replace Justice Kennedy is spreading propaganda. Just STOP!

So he voted for Hillary. Get this punk off the SC short list now.
Not for nothing, but it’d be hard for the media to say that he’d be some rubber stamp for Trump’s agenda if he didn’t vote for Trump and they don’t even really like each other. OTOH, it does call into question the judgement of Lee, which is not a point worth overlooking.
My estimation of Mike Lee just went down considerably.
What is it with Utah?
Morons, er, Mormons
Yes he did
Senator Lee was rooting for his buddy Lying Ted. That was the reason he has been anti-Trump. That and he considers himself a “real” conservative just like Mark Levin.
These “real” conservatives have achieved close to zero in congress. But they consider themselves “principled” conservatives. Yeah sure, so show us some results. Otherwise you are all a dud in the real world.
Good point. Also he's well liked among his fellow senators, so I can't imagine one of the RINOs voting against. He's a Utah politician out to earn points, so he made a meaningless gesture voting for McMuffin. That was a one-time dumb move that has nothing to do with his jurisprudence. If he's pro-constitution and not pro-"penumbra", I'm fine with him. Plus the "great one" digs him. Plus he'll more easily get through the confirmation process and handle all the faux outrage from the dem members, all of whom he knows so well.
