You know better, Mike Lee!
How dare you attempt to protest our legal system, albeit not always perfect, by refusing to do your job on behalf of the people who elected you. Instead of finding solutions, you create problems.
Furthermore, how dare you and your elected Republican colleagues continue to support a man who lies about everything, including all his recent convictions, and especially an election he lost by 7 million popular votes and 74 electoral college votes. You know he lost. He filed 62 federal lawsuits to no avail. You are an attorney. You know better. Yet you continue to pay homage to him. Your “Captain Moroni.”
Now you and your untethered fellow Republican public servants (that includes you, Burgess Owens) continue to rile up your followers by supporting the rantings of a former president of the United States, a recently convicted sex abuser (by a jury of his peers), and now a convicted felon (also via a jury of his peers)! Not to mention an outright traitor to his own country who will do anything to have power, including luring you into his un democratic, anti-American scheme to fix the Constitution to his own liking. You, who flirted with the idea that fake Republican electoral voters could replace the real ones and turn the last presidential election. You know better.
Please remove that copy of the Constitution you say you carry in your front pocket and don’t ever refer to it again because you simply do not understand it! You would rather support a dictator who would overturn the rule of law and excuse himself from all his crimes! And extinguish democracy. You’ve gone too far when members of your party start calling for blood in the streets. I think you know that. I think you know better.
Maybe you can say you are merely a voice for your constituency. But you cannot say you are a voice of reason. Or valor.
