Letter: Another day, another reminder Lee is just a power hungry, opportunistic gaslighter

(Valerie Plesch | The New York Times) Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, speaks during a news conference with other Senate Republicans criticizing the current border security bill being negotiated on Capitol Hill in Washington, Jan. 24, 2024.

How long are we going to allow Mike Lee to lie and weasel his way out of who and what he really is?

I opened yet another embarrassing article recently where Lee is being chastised for “spreading lunacy” by Liz Cheney, vice chair of the House Select Committee on the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Do the residents of Utah understand that our senator Mike Lee was a key player in trying to overturn the election results? He is the “MAGA senator the title refers to.” The article goes on to state that the Jan. 6 committee revealed more than 100 emails between Lee, Mark Meadows and congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) detailing these plans.

Lee pretends that he loves and supports our Constitution while trying to help Donald Trump destroy it.

Cheney shames Lee and reminds him of his own words shortly after Jan. 6 calling Trump’s plan (also Lee’s plan) to seize power “illegal.” Now what Mike? Make up your mind. Stop embarrassing your constituents and at least say who and what you really believe in and who you really are.

Because, as far as I can tell, you are just a power hungry, opportunistic gaslighter.

Shanna Lelli, Ivins
