Mike Lee (R-UT) praises party diversity by touting 4 Black House members -- who are all leaving
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) thought he had a slam dunk. He posted a photo collage of the only four Black Republicans serving in the U.S. House of Representatives and declared, "This is NOT the party of Jim Crow."
Mike Lee posted four faces to prove his party isn't racist. Those four faces will soon be gone.
Reps. Wesley Hunt of Texas, John James of Michigan, Byron Donalds of Florida, and Burgess Owens of Utah are all departing Capitol Hill — and the GOP has nobody waiting in the wings to replace them.
