Although Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) has long been one of the most conservative members of the United States Senate, he did not formerly have a reputation as a MAGA radical.

A lengthy new profile from The Atlantic's Tim Alberta explores how Lee has transformed not only from one of former President Donald Trump's top critics into a staunch Trump supporter, but how the senator himself has undergone a personality metamorphosis that many longtime colleagues and staffers say has rendered him "unrecognizable."

'Off the chart': Maddow pinpoints reason she says Trump gets away with 'bizarreness'
