Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) on Monday confronted Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) over of series of comments he made blaming Democrats for the fatal shooting of a Minnesota state lawmaker.
Shortly after the Senate began its Monday evening vote, Smith was seen walking into a conference room where Republicans were about to hold a meeting to discuss the text the Finance Committee had just unveiled for the party’s massive tax bill.
She emerged a minute later talking to Lee in an adjacent hallway. The two spoke for a couple of minutes before the Minnesota Democrat emerged.
“Let me gather myself,” Smith said as she left, declining to comment initially.
She eventually told reporters she wanted Lee to hear from her directly “about how painful that was and how brutal that was to see that on what was just a horrible, brutal weekend.”
