...Said the senator who posted a photo of a man posing as a police officer and shooting two Minnesota Democratic lawmakers. And their spouses. And their dog.

His photo had the words: "This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way."

The shooter - A registered Republican and strong backer of TRUMP.

Confronted by fellow a senator from the victim's state, Lee didn't back down. The Senate has rules and traditions about decorum and collegiality. Republicans ignored them.

Here is Jon Stewart beautifully ripping Lee apart, and showing what an ass he is. The segment was so powerful, Utah papers wrote it up!
