Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) on Tuesday deleted social media posts he made blaming the left for the fatal shooting of a Minnesota state legislator.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the posts that seemingly made light of the shootings that killed state Rep. Melissa Hortman (D) and her husband and wounded state Sen. John Hoffman (D) and his wife were gone from the Utah Republican’s @BasedMikeLee personal account on the social platform X.
One post from over the weekend had dubbed the killing the “Nightmare on Waltz Street,” an apparent attempted reference to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), while the other said, “This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way.”
The move came after intense blowback from Democrats. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) publicly called on Lee to take down the posts and urged President Trump and Republicans to make the same request, arguing Lee might listen to them.
