"To send Lee back to Washington for six more years, knowing he is willing to meddle with election results he doesn’t like, would be a stain on Utah’s history and a disservice to our broader republic." Thank you, Ryan and Davis Bell, for a great op-ed.

You’re right,
@senmikelee
. The American people deserve better. They deserve a Senator willing to come to the table, open debate, and do the work. A vote against open debate is a vote against your job requirements.
No more excuses. No more wasted time. No more tragedy.

Lee has an obligation to protect and defend our Constitution and democratic process, as he swore to do when he took office. Instead, he allowed the situation to continue and enabled those seeking to keep themselves in power, no matter the consequences.

Utah Sen. Mike Lee vehemently disputes that he was a participant in the plot to keep Donald Trump in office. Recently released court documents could prove problematic for Lee’s defense.

Sen Lee’s shutdowns have become all too common, demonstrating ineffective leadership and an unwillingness to do the job he was elected to do. Lee’s 2013 shutdown cost taxpayers $24 billion. For a fiscal conservative, he’s shown to be an expensive liability

The overwhelming majority of Americans understand what Mike Lee does not: we must take action.
Presented on Fox News with polling showing that majorities are in favor of a range of gun control measures and asked whether he's out of step with his constituents, Mike Lee ends up stammering about how people don't actually know what an assault rifle is

Rep. Liz Cheney, one of Donald Trump’s most outspoken critics, lost her GOP primary in Wyoming to Harriet Hageman, her Trump-backed challenger. Cheney voted to impeach Trump over the Capitol insurrection and is vice chair of the Jan. 6 House committee.
