OOF: MAGA Senator’s Tweet Went So Wrong So Fast That He Had To Delete It
HuffPost
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) pulled the message after it didn't land the way he had hoped.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) on Monday deleted a tweet in which he tried out a new line of logic to defend the use of masks by federal agents.
Lee, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump who often uses his social media accounts to troll, shared a video of armed Mexican cartel members setting fire to a gas station. At least one of them was wearing a full head mask, and Lee used it to draw parallels to the widely criticized masks worn by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal agents as they conduct raids targeting migrants.
“Cartel hitmen wear masks,” he wrote on Sunday. “Leftists aren’t complaining.”
By Monday, the tweet was gone.
Lee, who deleted a series of sickening messages about a double homicide in Minnesota last year, did not explain on social media why he deleted the mask post. But the message had the opposite effect of the point he was trying to make, as at least three of his fellow members of the Senate quickly pointed out.
