Mike Lee: Republicans in Utah 'very upset' over Mitt Romney voting to convict Trump
Fox News ^ | February 6, 2020 | Joshua Nelson

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said on Thursday that Republicans in Utah are not pleased with the state's other Republican senator, Mitt Romney, after he voted to convict President Trump for abuse of power in the Senate impeachment trial.

“There will be some people who might be happy with it, and they might be called Democrats, for the most part. I think Republicans are very upset about it. And I, for one, disagree with it and disagree with it strongly,” Lee told Shannon Bream on “Fox News at Night.”

Lee pushed back on Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., for praising Romney’s dissenting vote.

“In fact, if you roll back the clock to 2012, you will not see Richard Blumenthal praising Mitt Romney. In fact, you won't see any of that," said Lee.

Looks like Mike Lee doesn't want Romney's vote rubbing off on him.

Even though Trump gave Mike Lee an “atta boy” today, I detest him almost as much as Romney.

This is the same Mike Lee who whored himself to wanting more H1B Visas for Indians and MORE refugees in America, right? Did the cosmos balance itself?

Mike Lee is just another of the 95% of terrible people who claim to be Mormons who are in, or just left, Federal elected office.

- Mike Crapo
- Mitt Romney
- Mia Love
- Harry Reid
- Orrin Hatch
- Jeff Flake
- Mike Lee
- Tom Udall
- Chris Stewart

There’s apparently only a couple Mormons left off that list.

Amazing how consistently inconsistent for the Truth they are, huh?

Ask your “esteemed colleague” to resign, Mike...or did you need some press?

The DC Divide & Control POWER CENTER works until it doesn’t.

2. Nothing being more likely to prepare the vulgar mind for aristocraticalranks and hereditary powers than titles, endeavor in the offset of thegovernment to confer these on its most dignified officers. If the principalmagistrate should happen to be particularly venerable in the eyes of thepeople, take advantage of that fortunate circumstance in setting the example.

5. As the novelty and bustle of inaugurating the government will for some timekeep the public mind in a heedless and unsettled state, let the press duringthis period be busy in propagating the doctrines of monarchy and aristocracy.For this purpose it will be particular useful to confound a mobbish democracywith a representative republic, that by exhibiting all the turbulent examplesand enormities of the former, an odium may be thrown on the character of thelatter. Review all the civil contests, convulsions, factions, broils,squabbles, bickering, black eyes, and bloody noses of ancient, middle, andmodern ages; caricature them into the most frightful forms and colors that canbe imagined, and unfold one scene of horrible tragedy after another till thepeople be made, if possible, to tremble at their own shadows. Let thediscourses on Davila then contrast with these pictures of terror the quiethereditary succession, the reverence claimed by birth and nobility, and thefascinating influence of stars, and ribands, and garters, cautiouslysuppressing all the bloody tragedies and unceasing oppressions which form thehistory of this species of government. No pains should be spared in this partof the undertaking, for the greatest will be wanted, it being extremelydifficult, especially when a people have been taught to reason and feel theirrights, to convince them that a king, who is always an enemy to the people, anda nobility, who are perhaps still more so, will take better care of the peoplethan the people will take of themselves.

10. “Divide and govern” is a maxim consecrated by the experience of ages, andshould be familiar in its use to every politician as the knife he carries inhis pocket. In the work here to be executed, the best effects may be producedby this maxim, and with peculiar facility. An extensive republic made up oflesser republics necessarily contains various sorts of people, distinguished bylocal and other interests and prejudices. Let the whole group be well examinedin all its parts and relations, geographical and political, metaphysical andmetaphorical; let there be first a northern and a southern section, by a linerunning east and west, and then an eastern and western section, by a linerunning north and south. By a suitable nomenclature, the landholderscultivating different articles can be discriminated from one another, all fromthe class of merchants, and both from that of manufacturers.

1792 - Freneau

Screw Lee. Other than the impeachment vote, Senator Lee actually votes WORSE than Romney. Even worse than Murkowski. He is pro illegal immigration and has repeatedly voted against the border wall. He is the architect of the bill to flood the USA with H-1b workers to replace high skill, high pay American workers. He does not care one bit about Americans.

I am SICK of Utah’s Mormons controlling these Senate seats. Looking back over 100 years, EVERY SINGLE Utah Senator has been a Mormon. I suspect they have NEVER had a non Mormon Senator. They could care less about party, country or values, only religion. /rant

Mike Lee can’t be trusted either. He’s a fair weather friend at best, and was a “never Trump” fanatic who tried to sink Trump’s campaign. I won’t forget that.

Mormonism and islam are both cults founded on lies...and both should be heaped on the garbage dump of history.

I wish the citizens of Utah would exert sufficient pressure on Mittens to resign in disgrace and go into political exile.

Hopefully, Governor Herbert will soon have the opportunity to appoint a suitable MAGA candidate to help PDJT KAG!!!

Lee is a liar, of course, and not a very convincing one.
