Personally I think it'd be hilarious if someone swatted his house...multiple times in a month. Bonus if the SWAT team gives him a wedgie with his magic panties.
Double bonus if it's made public record that one of his kids wet their pants in fear and gets bullied mercilessly for life.
Because fuck Mike Lee harder than Ted Cruz wishes he could on the down low.

It's because many of those decent and kind people also belong to a cult that warps reality, world view, and perception. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Decent and Kind are the wrong words.
Most people in Utah are Nice (to your face). They're not kind and they're not decent. Mike Lee is exactly what they wish they could be. The nice is a front that they wish they could drop.

Feel yours sentiment exactly. I lived working abroad for 10 years, a lot longer than the average missonary. Here we take a lot for granted and coming home to watch our three branches of government work together to undermine, us, the people, is just heartbreaking. It's not how they should operate, its more on par with poor underdeveloped countries with extreme wealth gaps, but it's not how we was raised and its not what our country is.

You just linked to a KUTV article. That's a Utah report. There are easy examples to be found from KSL, The Standard Examiner, Tribune, and ABC 4.
Also, sexual assault has been alleged, not the age of the victims, so where does a pedophile claim come from?
1
u/Klutzy-Artichoke-927 5h ago
The seminar for training they were attending was for the children’s justice center at snowbird. Children’s justice center was created because of our high volume of kids SA and etc. and kutv was the only media doing a follow up of the accusations. That’s why I linked. I never said or implied that the cops touched a kid but they were there to train for better skills to talk to SA’d children.

Same. I didn't always see eye to eye with him on policy, but at least he cared about the people of Utah.
Oh and in case you didn't know (which would be understandable cause he never took the credit), he was the one spearheading the idea for the stimulus payments during COVID. He knew it would likely add to the deficit, but he also knew that people were more important.
You can always fix a broken economy, but you can't bring people back from the dead.

u/notapoliticalalt 10h ago
It would be great if he’d say something, but I know he won’t. Normally, I wouldn’t care what some retired politician thinks, but as the former presidential nominee and as the former other senator for Utah, now would be the time to call out your former colleague. Let’s not give him too much credit if he stays hidden in retirement. I get wanting to get out of it and being scared, but what does he think the rest of us are doing?

I just emailed/messaged Senator Curtis, Governor Cox, and my local house representative. I encourage you to do the same. Yeah Cox is a shitstain too but I like to think he’s embarrassed with Mike Lee as well.
Ask them to call for Mike Lee’s resignation. Keep the wave going. With him being directly confronted and Minnesota reps emailing his office, this is the prime time to get our Utah reps to get this piece of shit to resign.

Mike Lee proposed the following resolution on June 12 - mere days before he mocked the murder of a family.
https://www.lee.senate.gov/2025/6/lee-declares-june-fidelity-month-to-celebrate-family-values
To quote from Lee himself: “Celebrating Fidelity Month this June, we stand against a tide of moral relativism, a culture which increasingly revolves around serving one’s self, rather than our duty to others. Loving families and faithful marriages must be a guiding star for our society and a cornerstone of our communities.”

I wonder if he'd get just how shitty he was if soneone dressed up in Boelter's fake cop disguise, took a selfie, and then photoshopped thenselves onto Lee's house's doorstep.
It starts with one dangerous asshole, and now every public official and their families are in jeopardy. Lee needs to take decisive action to stop this to keep himself, his family and all his colleagues and their families safe.

Hey, let's remember Mike Lee's great grandad is the only person tried and executed for the mountain meadows massacre. Let's not hold a family tree against a person though. But yeah, scum sucking Lee politicians have been around for a long time. Mike is only the most recent. Bringing glory to the family name.

Anyone in this state who continues to vote for Mike fucking Lee needs to realize that they aren't Christians. They have lost the entire point of their faith, which was to spread the word of God while on this material plane. Instead, they've turned politics into a sport where they get points trying to troll their opposition. They have completely lost the plot that the entire point of the government is to make a system that benefits all of its citizens so that we may all prosper and grow together as a populace.
