A U.S. Senator faced accusations Sunday that he'd lost his grip on reality after he repeatedly claimed, without evidence, that Democrats were responsible for a white supremacist march in Washington D.C. on Independence Day.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) took to X to share numerous posts of the Patriot Front members, who wore white masks and carried Confederate flags, as they moved through the nation's capital Saturday.

"Democrats need to stop reminding America of their racist history," Lee wrote in one post. He added in another, "Patriot Front: Brought to you by leftists who don’t know that patriots don’t wear masks." ...

U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), known for being a fierce ally to President Donald Trump, was hit with an avalanche of evidence that he is wrong after "challenging anyone" to explain a Dem's statement about Trump hurting hospitals.

Lee took to social media over the weekend to share a video of U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff, a Democrat, at a rally saying, "Trump was supposed to fight for the working class; instead, he's literally closing rural clinics and hospitals to cut taxes for George Soros and Elon Musk."

Lee responded to that with a direct challenge....

Charlie Kirk's allies vowed vengeance against novelist Stephen King for summarizing the slain activist's political views, but social media users pointed out a flaw in their strategy.

The best-selling author reminded his X followers that Kirk, who was fatally shot Wednesday at a speaking event at Utah Valley University, held virulently anti-LGBTQ views, pointing out that "he advocated stoning gays to death. Just sayin’."

Kirk often spoke out against what he described as the “LGBTQ agenda" and described the Bible verse Leviticus 20:13, which calls for the execution of homosexuals, as “God’s perfect law when it comes to sexual matters," but the right-wing influencer's supporters, including Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), demanded retribution....

U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) is reportedly causing "severe repercussions" to his own religion due to his rabid embrace of Donald Trump and his tactics.

Lee, a MAGA lawmaker who backs Trump every chance he gets, was in hot water when he posted insensitive statements about a shooting in which a Democratic lawmaker was killed. His religion, the Church of Latter-Day Saints, has been harmed by those comments and others, according to a Politico report.

Lee's "online persona has further damaged his already frayed relationship with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints," whose members are often referred to as Mormons, according to Politico....

MAGA advocates known for their love of hunting and fishing are fuming over a proposal in President Donald Trump's megabill currently being considered by the Senate, The New York Times reported.

Senators are looking to make cuts to offset the cost of Trump's tax cuts for high-income individuals and corporations. One solution came from Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), who has proposed selling millions of acres of federal lands in a move that could threaten fish and wildlife prized by outdoorsmen.

"Lee’s proposal would require the Bureau of Land Management to sell as much as 1.225 million acres of public property across the American West," reporter Maxine Joselow wrote. "Proponents have said the region has a severe shortage of affordable housing and that developers could build new homes on these tracts."...

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) is "rotten," according to a former Republican insider who was outraged by Lee's recent remarks.

Observers blasted Lee on Sunday after the senator posted a photo of a man who allegedly shot multiple Democratic officials. He included the words, "This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way."

Reed Galen, former campaign manager for Sen. John McCain and co-founder of the conservative anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project, weighed in via a video over the weekend....
